​Our Shrine's feast day is August 22nd, The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We invite parishioners to bring flowers on that day in celebration of the feast.  The best and most symbolic Marian flower arrangement will win a prize.  

With the coming of summer and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, we are looking at more freedom and opportunity to participate.  Programs starting up in September are:

• Coffee after Mass
• Maturing Adults
• Evening Study Groups
• Ladies of the Shrine (LOTS)

​We invite parishioners to visit our website at www.rockiesparish.com to sign up. (Parish Life  then  Parish Groups)  We are currently training Tour Guides and Kiosk attendants.  During the summer we are looking for help mowing and watering the grounds.  By July we will need extraordinary ministers of communion, altar servers, sacristans, ushers, musicians and hospitality ministers. For mass volunteers click the button on front page of website.

​Distribution of Holy Communion
Sundays, May 16th and 23rd       
1:00 to 4:00 pm

1) Wait in your car in the main parking lot until you are invited to come into the church through the parking lot entrance doors.

2) Groups of up to 15 people, wearing masks, will register for the purpose on contact tracing and then be brought into the church to where the distribution of Holy Communion will take place. Physical distancing between individuals and families will take place as necessary.

3) Each group will join Fr. Nathan for a short 5-10 minute celebration where those properly disposed to receive Holy Communion may do so.

​​During May the Rosary will be prayed 40 minutes before the weekday masses.  Except on Fridays when the rosary is prayed after mass.

• Pope Francis has asked all Marian Shrines to pray the rosary for the end of the pandemic.
• For the first week of June, in celebration of our dedication anniversary, the rosary will be extended to one hour starting after the weekday masses.
