History
Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish is a Personal Parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio. The Parish began as an independent chapel under the leadership of Fr. John F. Roach _ (1900-1987) in 1978.
The years 1984 and 1988 were watershed years in the life of the Church. Pope John Paul II expressly recognized the legitimacy and value of the Church’s Latin liturgical tradition. He asked the bishops throughout the world to recognize and accommodate the growing desires of Catholics for a return to the traditional liturgical rites. The Holy Father knew that many Catholics wishing to nourish their spiritual lives with our traditional Catholic heritage needed to have ready access to the liturgical tradition of the Latin Church.
The Diocese of Youngstown recognized and approved Queen of the Holy Rosary Chapel as a venue for the traditional Roman liturgy in 1991. In 1997, Bishop Thomas Tobin, Bishop of the Diocese of Youngstown erected the Chapel as a Personal Parish of the Diocese. A personal parish is established by the bishop to facilitate the pastoral care of souls for reasons such as a common ethnic heritage, common language, or common liturgical rite of people living in the diocese.
Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish is dedicated and established to provide for the spiritual and pastoral needs of its members chiefly according to the use of the liturgical rites and sacraments in vigor in the Roman Rite in 1962. That dedication is also expressed in the promotion of traditional Catholic spirituality and devotional practices, as well as our faithful adherence to the Church’s perennial and unchanging teachings. Thus, our priests offer Mass here exclusively according to the traditional Latin Rite according to the 1962 Roman Missal.
