Too busy to bake a dessert for Thanksgiving? The Lady’s Guild has just what you need? A bake sale featuring a variety of delicious cakes, pies, cookies, and breads will be held after weekend Masses on November 22 – 23. Be sure to stop by Rosary Hall to purchase a scrumptious treat!

The Lady’s Guild will once again display its annual Angel Tree beginning November 8 in the church Narthex. Parishioners are asked to pick an angel from the tree and purchase the recommended gift for a needy child or older adult. A sign-up sheet will be available to designate the angel you selected. All gifts must be brought to the church by December 10. Gift pick-up will be on December 12 and 13.

With Advent quickly approaching, you won’t want to miss this retreat. Our Lady of the Rosary will host a church retreat on Saturday, November 22 from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. Father David McCanless, Catholic chaplain at Wake Forest University, will lead the retreat focusing on Advent…Preparing for Christmas. The retreat will be held in the Parish Center, and lunch will be provided and served by the Hispanic community. Please join us for an inspiring spiritual journey and sign up in Rosary Hall so we can get a headcount for lunch.

Father David, originally from Salisbury, was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Charlotte in 2016. He has a graduate degree in Biblical Theology from the Gregorian University in Rome. Prior to his assignment to Wake Forest, he served as the Parochial Vicar at St. Patrick Cathedral (Charlotte) and the Basilica of St. Lawrence (Asheville), and as Pastor at Our Lady of Mercy (Winston-Salem).
