St. Rose of Lima Church in Cherry Grove has been a part of the family history for as long as I can remember.  Built by my O'Kane and Tunks ancestors and their neighbors, St. Rose became the heart of their community.  It was the place they gathered to celebrate faith and community; the place they shared the challenges they faced and the hope they held that the roots they were establishing in their new country would be a strong foundation for generations to come.

Well over 100 years later, a new generations of 'pioneers' had the vision and determination that St. Rose should be saved and restored.  I am honored to join this group and be a part of this ongoing commitment to celebrate and preserve the legacy of St. Rose and the early settlers of the area.
