The pantry truck had a tire failure this week which is taken care of, but we have some expensive maintenance on the horizon.
We have a welder to work on the aluminum stands for the soccer field we just need to get them to his shop.
Thank you for your prayers and continued support.
He has risen indeed!

Our Life
“The Church's deepest nature is expressed in her three-fold responsibility: of proclaiming the word of God (kerygma-martyria), celebrating the sacraments (leitourgia), and exercising the ministry of charity (diakonia). These duties presuppose each other and are inseparable. For the Church, charity is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally well be left to others, but is a part of her nature, an indispensable expression of her very being.”
— Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI
Our History
Founded in 1889, Holy Rosary remains in its historic church built by the hands of its immigrant founders. 135 years later the parish remains a diverse community dedicated to the fullness of the Catholic faith expressed in word, sacrament, and service.
Our high altar and reredos is a work of beauty. Like the rest of the church, it was built by the immigrant founders - a stunning piece of carpentry from the front, it is even more amazing from behind. As you can see, this work of beauty and wonder was built with scrap wood - a perfect metaphor for the work of Holy Rosary to this day.
Our Mission
Gate City is among the poorest neighborhoods in Birmingham and thus brings us ample opportunities to minister with our neighbors and promote the common good. Throughout its history, Holy Rosary has been at the forefront of contemporary Catholic Social Teaching.
Support for Holy Rosary can be designated for ongoing and immediate needs in the Food Pantry or maintenance of our facility. Online donations can be sent here and checks can be sent to:
