Event Description

Family and Friends will come together on February 14, 2025 to remember John Rose and to continue his legacy of faith.  He was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, where he was very involved in the youth groups.  He was very passionate about keeping youth involved in the church.  We are raising money to establish a scholarship fund at Our Lady of the Valley.  We will give a scholarship each year to a graduating high school senior who has participated in the youth groups and in the life of the church. All proceeds from the run will be given to the scholarship fund that is established at the Catholic Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama.  John passed away from a heart attack on November 12, 2024 but his heart of faith lives on, inspiring youth to stay involved in the church.
