Calling all parishioners of St. Joseph Hills, St. Mary Lone Tree, and St. Mary Nichols:

 

We are highly honored to be chosen one of five churches participating in the National Rosary Congress Pilgrimage.

 

Prayerfully join in support of the work begun by priests, religious, and laity, from around the world.

 

Their mission? Bringing the World to Jesus through Mary by fostering collaboration among Bishops, Confraternities, Shrines, with Movements, and Apostolates as a means of Evangelization in the World!

 

Your mission? Make a Holy Hour and pray a rosary at St. Joseph Catholic Church from September 2-3, 2026.

 

We are asking Our Lady to intercede on our behalf as we prepare for the Great Jubilee of 2033, the 2000th Anniversary of our Redemption.

 

Be a part of this initiative, Jubilee 33 Journey.

 

The fire of this prayer, lit at Our Lady of Fatima parish Montreal Canada, Aug. 31-Sept. 1, will then pass to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, WI, Sept.1-Sept. 2, then here to St. Joseph Catholic Church in Hills, IA, for Sept. 2-Sept. 3, then onto the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France for Sept. 3-Sept. 4, and finally to The Augustine Institute for Sept. 4-6, 2026.

 

We are being asked to join these peoples in Eucharistic Adoration

and prayer for the intention of this mission.

 

At the Augustine Institute people are gathering to prayerfully discern the means by which this mission can be carried out. Please, prayerfully support these efforts for the evangelization of the world!
