Holy Rosary parish has changed quite a bit over the course of the past century and more. It has gone from the impossible dream of a few dedicated German immigrants to the grand old lady of Tacoma’s Catholic parishes. From the neighborhood church of Germantown to a shining beacon on a hill, seen by all who pass through our city.
