Hi! I'm Jackie Hooke and I am the Pastoral Associate here at Most Holy Rosary. I've been a member of the parish for 57 years and have worked here for almost 45 years. I am a mother of three children and a grandmother of 5. I am a widow of 12 years. I have been writing the Ministry Corner weekly for about 20 years. I missed the few months during the Pandemic but as soon as were all back in place I was back writing about the parish.
I love Most Holy Rosary Parish. It has been my home away from home. I do feel that God has led me here. In my youth I wanted to be a Sister of Mercy but my dad was non accepting and since I was close to him I decided I would wait until I was older. Obviously God had other plans for me as I have been in church ministry far longer than my nun friends were in the convent.
I'm here because Jesus has called me to be here. I can't imagine being anywhere but Most Holy Rosary. If you ever want to talk to me call 925-775-5999. Leave a message and I will call you back. Thank you!
