Dillon Community Day of Service
On Wednesday August 12th, various organizations in Dillon will host service projects that will take place throughout the day. There is a flyer on the bulletin board at the back of the Church for this event if you are interested. The link that will take you directly to where all of the projects are listed is: https://www.justserve.org/CommunityDayofService2026

We encourage all the families and parishioners to cultivate the habit of offering Mass Intentions during the week, as a way of praying with the family members/friends who passed away in the hope of rising again.
A week-end Mass can be dedicated for a special intention which can only cover one deceased; One Mass of the week-end is dedicated to the people of the parish.
SACRAMENTAL LIFE

Camino is for YOU!
The Diocese of Helena has been using, Camino for a while to help Parish's connect with the Diocese and allow Parish's to easily keep track of Parish members and contributions. St. Rose of Lima has been using the program to keep contact information, household sizes and donor contribution information. This simplifies many tasks, including but not limited to: preparing labels for envelopes, keeping track of contributions and assigned envelope numbers, creating a Parish contact list, and creating tax letters for our Parishioners. The Camino Life app/website is voluntary, but we would like to offer it as an easy way to update your household information. This data will also allow you to see your contribution history with St. Rose of Lima Parish and the Diocese of Helena. We of course will continue to have paper registration forms, but please consider using the Camino Life App so updates can be made quickly and correctly.

Check out the beautiful Prayer Candles in the back of church! There are lovely pictures on them of the stained glass windows in our beautiful Church!
