Prayer to Saint Roch
(The Patron Saint for the
Epidemic Diseases)
O Blessed St Roch,
Patron of the sick, Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.
Your power was so great
When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.
Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less. Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears.
And obtain for us that health we seek
Through Christ Our Lord Amen.

Message from the Pastor
Dear brothers and sisters of St. Adalbert-St. Roch Parish,
What a joy to come together, as one community of St. Adalbert-St. Roch parish, with hearts filled with gratitude for this momentous occasion - the Centennial Celebration of St. Roch Church. A century of unwavering devotion, faith, and fellowship deserves to be celebrated with great joy and reflection.
One hundred years ago, a group of Faithful souls came together to lay the foundation of this sacred place we call home. They built not just bricks and mortar but a haven for spiritual growth, a sanctuary for solace, and a hub for compassion. Their dedication has carried us through a century of challenges, joys, and triumphs.
In the Catholic tradition, a centennial is a reminder of the enduring strength of our faith. We look back at the generations who came before us, and we honor their sacrifices, prayers, and commitment. Their legacy is woven into the very fabric of these walls, and it lives on in each and every one of us.
As our celebration comes to a conclusion, let us also look ahead with hope and anticipation. The next century of our journey promises new challenges and opportunities. With faith as our guide, we can continue to be a beacon of light and love in our community of St. Adalbert-St. Roch Parish, and aspire to be a source of love, compassion, and unity for generations yet to come.
To all who have been part of this remarkable journey, both past and present, I offer my heartfelt thanks. Your dedication, prayers, and contributions have made this Centennial Celebration possible. Let us come together in prayer, gratitude, and fellowship, as we give thanks for the past, celebrate the present, and embrace the future with open hearts and unwavering faith.
In the words of Psalm 100:5, "For the Lord is good; His mercy endures forever, whose faithfulness lasts through every age.”
May God continue to bless and guide our parish community for generations to come.
With deep gratitude and faith,
Fr. Albin Roby
Pastor

“Blessed are all who take refuge in Him,” Psalm 2:12. What a perfect theme to match the multi-year effort Eucharistic Revival to regain a deeper appreciation of the source and summit of our strength: Jesus Christ and His presence in the Eucharist.
Your support of the Cardinal's Annual Stewardship Appeal provides care for our beloved retired priests, who brought the Eucharist to us all. The Appeal supports evangelization, communications, Catholic education, and charitable works and it makes possible the for- mation of new parish priests, while caring for our elder ones, so that our next generation may know and love Christ and continue to seek Him in the Eucharist.
