St. Joseph Catholic Church held its annual spaghetti dinner on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, in the Fr. Charles J. Murray Parish Hall.

It was the 64th year  - the longest-running parish spaghetti dinner in town!  There were lots of takeouts, but also lots of Broncos fans who came and watched the Denver/Houston game on the big screen while enjoying fellowship with other parishioners. The meal consisted of hot spaghetti, with a salad, roll, cake, and beverage of their choice (wine, beer, pop, or water).

Thanks to those who all came out, and also to all the volunteers who worked the day to make this dinner so successful!

Below are pictures from the dinner.

Remember the Fallen, "Honor those who Served," Teach our children the value of Freedom

The mission statement that has guided Wreaths Across America for more than 30 years grows more meaningful each year as Pueblo bears the name "Home of Heroes."
It is Roselawn's goal to place a wreath for the many veterans laid to rest on Roselawn's sacred grounds.

Join us on
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2025, AT 12:00 NOON
We will honor the veterans who served in the Civil War, Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
By sponsoring a wreath for $17, you are remembering and honoring those who made
the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom.

THREE SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE
No. 1: Grave-specific sponsorship
Do you have a family member or friend who served in the U.S. military and is laid to rest at Roselawn? Honor them with a fresh balsam wreath adorned with a red velvet bow - $17. Wreaths will be available for sponsors to pick up and place on Friday, December 12th, before the WAA ceremony at noon on Saturday, December 13th.

No. 2: In-Memory sponsorship
If your loved one or friend is not laid to rest on Roselawn's grounds, you may sponsor a wreath in memory of them. Our Rose Garden is dedicated as a place to commemorate veterans who were not laid to rest on our grounds. The wreath you sponsor will be placed in the Rose Garden by staff & the veteran's name will be listed in the program.

No. 3: General sponsorships
Every veteran deserves to be remembered. A general sponsorship allows our volunteers to place a wreath on the veterans who served in the 10 wars. With the passing of time the population of veterans who served in the early wars has fewer and fewer visitors.

The Chalice for Vocations ministry was developed to promote fervent and devotional prayer for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. These specific intentions are raised as the chalice travels within the parish community.

A prayer guide is provided and geared for readers that are young or old.  Spontaneous and personal prayers for vocations are always acceptable and welcome also. Please incorporate prayers for an increase in vocations within your prayer life.

If you would like to receive the Chalice for Vocations for a week, please contact the parish office at 719-544-1886. Thank you. Be confident that your prayers are heard.
