Holy Rosary Home Coming
                    "Come Celebrate With Us!"      

                        In this time of cluster reorganization, Holy Rosary Church in 
                  Caribou held a three-day Home Coming Celebration,  June
                  3-5 to bring the parishioners and the larger community 
                  together.  A Rick Charette Concert for the young and 
                  young at heart on Friday evening started the festivities 
                  that ended Sunday with a chicken barbeque put on by the
                  K. of C.  At the Saturday Mass there was a rededication of
                  the Holy Rosary statue of Mary which had been repainted;
                  the Sunday Mass was graced by a most lively children's 
                  choir. A fine dinner catered by Frederick's Southside took 
                  place Saturday evening, followed by a Casino for the 
                  adults.   Calling the weekend a true celebration of all the 
                  people, young and old, the pastor, Rev. Jean- Paul Labrie 
                  stated, "There was something for everyone. It was an 
                  opportunity for people  to come together and to see that we
                  are here and we plan to stay."
                       Sam Collins, Chairman of the Homecoming Core 
                  Committee, declared, "Celebrating the weekend with
                  Catholics and the community was just part of the satisfaction
                  of being involved with the Home Coming Weekend.  The
                  greater gift to each of the hundreds of volunteers was that 
                  each of us made new connections with fellow parishioners,  
                  we truly felt the Spirit.  This celebration is just the begining,
                   people are already excited about the next "Home
                   Coming!"
