A Tribute to Holy Rosary
This video was made by Diana Rubio, a former parishioner of Holy Rosary and mother to two of our altar servers.
All of the photos were taken over the last five or six years. See if you can find anything that says to you “unviable parish”.
Diana says:
After many attempts, I can finally post this video that I’ve created for my beloved parish. I tried my best to give credits to the people whom I believe took the images for the Holy Rosary website. Hopefully, no one will sue me for using their images.
I’ve created this video to make sure we have memories of our beloved parish if they decided to take down the website.
I am so surprised that the sequence of what’s happening to this Parish matches with the Jezu Ufam Tobie (Jesus, I trust in you) song. Originally, the song was written in Polish and later translated by Victoria JS Solenberger with the help of a Visitation church parishioner, I believe her name is Laura. It was dedicated to one of our beloved Priests, Father Michael Wagner ,who passed away in May 2018, and it became our parish special hymn. The audio came from Judy Rose video which she took during Holy Rosary and Visitation combined choir practice.
There is nothing more heartbreaking or disillusioning than having the administrators of your diocesan Church patronize you while stringing you along, making promises then breaking them, placing impossible conditions (heavy burdens) on you that you fulfill through the grace of God, only to then have them start stripping away slowly first your Priest, then your Deacon, then your administrator, then your Sisters, then your school, then your Mass.
The question must be asked: Was the ‘stolen’ tabernacle an inside Archdiocese job as part of the stripping away strategy? Strange there was never a follow-up and the ‘incident‘ quickly forgotten as though having the Church’s Great Treasure and LifeBlood mysteriously disappear held little importance.
The Powers That Be, knowing all along that their original plan of aborting the parish, selling the property to a condo builder (have you seen the drone’s view from the steeple top Cross Penthouse?), and putting the cash proceeds from the sale of the land into the chancery coffers to be distributed to ‘more worthy causes’, was never put on hold for even a moment.
In the medical field they call this a ‘dismemberment abortion’. Excruciating pain is felt with each limb as it is torn from the body until, finally, the heart is crushed, and death ushers in.
You holy People of God could have made it so much easier on the diocese, and yourselves, if you had just acquiesced to ‘the plan’, abandoned your parish home at first sign, and dispersed to other places. But ‘no’ you had to display that kind of fidelity and virtue that turn meek little mice into strength-of-steel saints. Not to worry. God will reward you.
