NOTES FROM MONSIGNOR TIM:
WELCOME SUMMER VISITORS: We welcome those who are visiting
with us this summer. We hope your stay in the lakes country is pleasant.
RESURFACING OF PARKING LOT. The south parking lot near the Welcoming
Center entrance of the church will be resurfaced this week. Because
of this the parking lot will be closed during those days. Please park
on Lake Avenue and access the Parish Office by the sidewalk. We are
sorry for the inconvenience but it will be worth it in the end!
CELL PHONES, LAND LINES, CELL PHONES, CELL PHONES: The
wave of the future has headed hook, line and sinker to the cell phone side
of things in communications. As a result it has caused some problems in
our parish office with our records. We would be very pleased if you would
help us bring our records up to date. If you have retired your land line in
favor of the cell phone we would appreciate hearing from you with your
new or existing cell phone number. If you would like to share your email
address with us you may do so as well. We are keeping our land lines but
will be cutting out a line or two this summer and will still be available, as in
the past, at 218.847.1393. The Parish Office can also be reached by
emailing us at: parish@holyrosarycc.org. Thanks for your help!
THE PARISH FESTIVAL is just around the corner! Trucks for your donations
to the White Elephant and the Silent Auction will be set up in the
parking lot soon. We appreciate your donations.
COLLECTION FOR RETIRED PRIESTS: This weekend we will be the
special collection for the Retired Priests of the Diocese of Crookston.
These funds help to pay for the health insurance for our retired priests.
Thanks for your generosity!
THE PARISH EXTENDS ITS SYMPATHY to Rose Olson on the death of
her husband CAMERON OLSON, whose funeral was on Wednesday here
at Holy Rosary. May he rest in the peace of the risen Christ.
A Father’s Day Blessing
God bless all the fathers in the world.
Guide them to be good role models
And loving to all their children.
Help them to be a father like You are.
Give them grace and patience
to handle situations in a loving way.
Amen!

The Gospel today is sometimes called “the
Gospel in miniature” because it so
concisely sums up the Gospel message. In
even more condensed form, “God loved…
God gave…” is the paradigm for
stewardship! We give because we love.
God our Father,
Bless these men, that they
may find strength as fathers.
Let the example of their faith
and love shine forth.
Grant that we,
their sons and daughters,
may honor them always
with a spirit of
profound respect.
Amen!
Pastoral Associate “Sharings”
- by Sister Kathleen McGeary
Thought for the Week...Sometimes we can get
stuck somewhere in life and settle into spiritual
apathy. It‘s called ‗arthritis of the soul‘. To prevent
such a condition, it is necessary to be open to
change and accept conversion. These are never
easy but they hold the secret to a happy life. By
entering into change and conversion we say that
the God who sustained us yesterday will still be
with us tomorrow. In the name of Faith-filled
growth we are challenged to let go of what we are
not in order to become what we are meant to be.
Heraclitus put it this way, ―You cannot step twice in
the same river, for other waters are ever flowing on
to you.‖
Infant Baptism Preparation… Next session
is Thursday, July 21 from 7:00– 8:15 p.m. in
the Holy Family Room. If you are planning to
present your child for Baptism, please contact the
Parish Office (847-1393) before July 21. Whenever
possible, try to have both parents attend the
preparation session.
Ushers Needed...We are in need of ushers for the
5:00 pm and 9:00 am Masses. It could be
male or female, adult or child. High School
students...what a great service project!
Parent/child teams ~ husband/wife teams...all are
welcome. Please considering helping us out with
this great ministry. For more information, contact
Ken Foltz at 847-3493.

First Eucharist Pictures
If you ordered a picture of the Confirmation
or First Eucharist classes, please stop in
and pick them up at the Parish Office.
TO OUR SUMMER VISITORS AND GUESTS
We offer Liturgy of the Word for Children 4 years of
age to grade 5 during the 9:00 a.m. Mass on most
Sundays during the year. After the opening Prayer,
children are sent forth to break open God‘s Word
on an age-appropriate level. Children who have already
received First Eucharist will return for the
remaining Liturgy while younger children are free
to stay for specific activities that continue to explore
the Gospel Story. Parents may pick up their
children in the Parish Living Room or Welcoming
Center.
So how is your heart doing Yesterday (6/13) I was
at Mass at the Cathedral of St. Paul when I noticed an elderly
lady in a wheel chair. This lady was old, frail, and unable
to care for herself. Through asking questions, I learned
that one of her younger children is her primary caregiver,
and words cannot explain the graces that I witnessed
through that. This lady was totally reliant on her child to
help her stand, kneel, sit, and process forward to receive
the Eucharist (the daughter even had to hold her as she received
Jesus); she could do nothing on her own. I think I
need to repeat that for emphasis, she could do nothing on
her own; she was at the mercy of her child. Oh, the gentleness
that the child had for touching her mom.
Now look at your life (I don‘t care what your age is)
and think about how your heart is doing Does it feel heavy
or is it at peace Is it empty or filled with fire, or does it
simply feel content I stress the heart because that is
where Jesus wants to reside. He wants to make a
dwelling place within all of you. St. Augustine
stated, ―Our hearts are restless unless they rest in
You (You = God)‖.
Now think about the lady I met at church and place
yourself in her position (not physically, but on a frail and
dependent state) and change her daughter to Jesus. Our
lives need to be totally dependent on him taking care of us.
His touch will be gentle, His concern for us will be high, and
His love will be endless. Let his care and touch bring us to
the table where He will sacrifice His body for love.

Spring Interlude
Holy Rosary Catholic Community
1043 Lake Avenue, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501
218-847-5306
Dear Friend of the 10 th Annual Spring Interlude,
On behalf of Holy Rosary Catholic Community and the Spring Interlude committee, I would like to
thank you for donating to the Spring Interlude Event on Friday, April 29, 2011. Your support helped
us earn over $48,000 to provide funds for the music and art programs.
Spring Interlude was a terrific success. The newly remodeled Holiday Inn was bursting with the
happiness and energy of 220 guests. The event was festive with professional décor by Kathy Kath’s
brother, Robert Kramer, “The Life of the Party”, from St. Paul. He has created the environment for
ten years. Everyone in attendance had the opportunity to bid on some fun raffles and unique packages.
The show, “REWIND”, turned up some exceptional surprises. Holy Rosary Alumna, Miss Minnesota,
Kathryn Knuttila, and former Miss Minnesota, Kari Knuttila amazed the audience with their talent
when they played a spirited medley of pieces on gleaming, black twin grand pianos. We had past
guests from Dancing with the Stars, Friday Night Live and Spring-time in Paris. Finally, the evening
was topped off with music and dancing by the ever-popular Tim Eggebraaten.
Thank you for your support of the music and art programs at Holy Rosary Catholic Community. We
are truly blessed to have such kind and giving friends who support our programs.
With warmest blessings,
Terri Paskey

Providing a Quality Education for Each Child
Holy Rosary School is committed to helping all students reach their full potential in a nurturing and safe school. We put that
commitment into practice by earning accreditation from the Minnesota Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (MNSAA).
What does this mean to you It means you can rest assured that your students are receiving a quality education. It means that:
Students are taught by qualified teachers;
The curriculum is rigorous and integrated with best professional practices;
Our school complies with State of Minnesota guidelines for safety and well-being; and
Oversight is provided by a concerned governing body.
It means that the quality of our educational program is nationally recognized.
It means that we go beyond state requirements and hold ourselves accountable for meeting nationally recognized standards of
excellence. Holy Rosary School has been accredited by MNSAA for the eligibility period of 2009 to 2016.
Update of MNSAA Goals
Objective 1: Holy Rosary School will have plans that allow teachers time to learn about new technology to enhance the education of our
students. Each year the budget process includes funds to cover the resources needed to belong to the INFOCON consortium to
gain new technology and training for our teachers. Teachers are signed up to attend the Best Practices Work-shop on Technology
at Sacred Heart School in East Grand Forks in August of 2011.
Objective. 2: Holy Rosary School will have a plan to investigate meeting the need for support staff to direct the unique learning needs of
our students. This objective has been researched and Holy Rosary has become part of the District 22 Targeted Service sites. Mrs.
Burnside our third grade teacher has been hired through the Dist. 22 process to hold targeted services for students at our school.
We completed half a school year with this service in place and have heard positive comments from parents and students who have
sought this program. We plan to hold a three week summer program in August prior to the start of the next school year.
Objective 3: Holy Rosary School will research the availability of other tests to better assess the strengths and weaknesses of our students.
This objective has not yet been addressed and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills in currently used.
Objective 4: Holy Rosary School will develop a plan to obtain and retain students to our school program. Strategy 5 of this objective
was to study the feasibility of adding an electronic sign on Washington Avenue to display school and parish information to the
community of Detroit Lakes. The school board has researched this possibility and has presented some possibilities to the whole
parish family. It has been decided to include this item on the parish wish list. This will allow donors who are interested in supporting
this project to do so. We encourage our stakeholders to contact the school office to give us input on our progress and
help us vision for the future.
Iowa Testing Results for 2010-2011
The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is given to all students in grades Kindergarten through eight each year in February. Below is a comparison between the
February 2010 test and the February 2011 test. The comparison shows the growth each class has made from last year to this year in reading, language,
math and a composite of the test. Eighth grade results have exceeded 13+ possible scores in most areas.
