Saint
Rocco's Church commitment and goals
The catholic community of Saint Rocco
at Sunset Park, Brooklyn welcomes every person who wants to share a life of unity, understanding, and mutual respect. The
most beautiful characteristic of this community is that we are blessed with a diversity of cultures and traditions. When we
gather around the Eucharistic banquet we recognize our unique commitment, which is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ
our Savior.
Saint Rocco is well known as an oasis
of peace, mutual charity, and an open dialogue for the community. We eagerly desire to strengthen spiritually through our
liturgies and at the same time we strive for new parishioners and encourage those who have left to return to become once again
active members.
We promote and support the
preparation of church lay leaders who become a testimony of our Catholic Faith. The joy and enthusiasm of our Faith gets its
plenitude in the moment of the Eucharist where the life of our brothers and sisters in Christ get a true spiritual meaning.
We are eager to help each
other. In order to promote the spiritual growth of our families and the neighborhood according to the morals and principles
of the Catholic Faith, we have an apostolic movement through secular groups. The groups consist of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
confraternity, the Christian family movement, the daughters of Mary, the Prayer circle, the Christian life youth group, the
Biblical assemblies of Saint Rocco, and Pre-baptismal preparation.
Particular dedication and
undertaking is given to the daughters of Mary, the Christian life youth group, and the religious education due to the importance
that they have in educating our young children of the community. They are tomorrow’s hope and the future of the church.
The choir is always giving
a special touch to each and every one of our celebrations and liturgies especially in the Sunday masses, where the apostleship
actions and our service to God begins and eternally continues.
