Our Church and Mission

The mission of the Catholic Church is to strive to live in accordance with the Gospel, to love God and neighbor, and to bring the Gospel message to everyone. We encourage the fullest response to our Baptismal call; namely full participation in the life of the Church, and the promotion of social justice. This mission of Saint Rose Church is to be the Catholic community in Belmar, bound together by faith, love, hope, learning, living and sharing Christ's message while joyfully celebrating our gifts from God.

Saint Rose Today

The Church of Saint Rose is an extraordinarily vibrant community. Our parish is blessed with a growing congregation of approximately 2,000 families. In addition to fostering Catholic education through our elementary school, high school, and religious education program, our parish continues to grow as a faith community as a sign of God's Kingdom here on Earth. We are blessed with a number of important ministries, and we have plans to develop many more to enhance our community.
