In October 1911, Holy Rosary Parish was officially
established in Rosenberg, Texas, after six
years of occasional Catholic services by various visiting priests. Our
parish’s 100 years of existence is rich with a history of sacrifice and
devotion. From the first Mass said in the Baker home (presently
Garmany–Carden Funeral Home on
Fourth St.), to the first wooden frame church that burned down in the 1920s, to
the beautiful church and parish complex we have today, our parish story is one
abundant in sacrifice, devotion, generosity, and vision.
Accordingly,
the parish held a year-long
celebration from October 2010 to October 2011.
