Saint Francis of Assisi has been quoted as saying “Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible”. The impossible for Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church became a reality with the Inauguration and Blessing of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Hall, our newly constructed Parish Hall/Activity Center at 1100 Avenue F in Cisco, on Saturday, October 7, 2023. This new construction began with a Groundbreaking Ceremony on Saturday, November 19, 2022. On that day, each parishioner received several mustard seeds, and everyone “planted” their mustard seeds in the “groundbreaking hole”. In this way, we acknowledged the parable of the mustard seed, when Christ said “It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches” (Matthew 13:32). Like the mustard seed, our increasing and expanding Christian faith grows and strengthens from small beginnings, helping us cult undertakings – like building a new Parish Hall and creating a new place of fellowship with increased opportunities to serve God in holiness and joy.

The Cisco “Friendship Meal” will be this coming Tuesday, January 16th, 2024.
