Join the Church

Thank you for your interest in our parish. Whether you’re just visiting us for a brief time, looking for a new parish home, are returning to the practice of your Catholic faith or are interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church, we’re happy to have you here at St. Rose of Lima.

With St. Rose of Lima as our patron and heavenly intercessor we, the parish family of St. Rose of Lima, in North Syracuse, NY, are a community nourished by the Eucharist, informed by Sacred Scripture and Tradition, who love and serve the Lord.

From its beginning in 1926 with Rev. George Oley to 2021 with Rev. Christopher Celentano, St. Rose of Lima Church has a rich history serving the Catholic community of North Syracuse and the surrounding area. The church located on South Main Street broke ground in June of 1949, was completed in 1962, and is currently undergoing a capital campaign to restore and renovate our parish home.

The various ministries within our parish are centered around strengthening individuals and families; from whole family catechesis (faith formation) to our ongoing adult formation programs, there is something for everyone. We hope that you will take the time to explore our website and the various ministries within our parish that will help to strengthen you, your family, and help draw out your God given gifts and talents by serving others. 

We look forward to answering any questions you may have. In the meantime, please look through the resources we’ve made available on these pages:
