Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church

 Wednesday, December 3: St. Rose will welcome the relics of Blessed Louis and Zélie Martin, the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. The devotions begin at 6 pm and are followed by a reception in the hall. Do not miss this opportunity! Please join us in welcoming to our diocese and parish, all the way from France, the relics of the holy parents of the Little Flower.

If you wish to know more about the veneration of relics, you may download a very short, short, or not so short explanation in PDF format. For more information on Louis & Zélie Martin go to the following website: http://www.louiszeliemartin-alencon.com/english/

Welcome to St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Quincy, IL. St. Rose was re-opened on November 9, 2008, to provide the Latin Mass for Catholics in Quincy and the surrounding area. Bishop George Lucas of the Springfield, Illinois, diocese appointed Fr. Arnaud Devillers of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter as chaplain. St. Rose is the first church in the Springfield diocese to resume the traditional Latin Mass since Pope Benedict the Sixteenth's Summorum Pontificum in 2007 ensured its availability.
