Dear Friends,
St. Rita Church History Trivia; Last week's question: What country contributed to the ethnic enrichment of St. Rita in the 1980s? Answer: Viet Nam. Fr. Sacco was wonderful about including Vietnamese culture at St. Rita in both our Masses as well as special celebrations. My favorite was our Lunar New Year Potluck Dinner every year.
This week's question: Who was the first person baptized at St. Riat? Answer in next week's email
If you have knowledge of St. Rita history, please send me a message with a St. Rita history question of your own that I can include in one of these emails.
PLEASE consider donating to our church. With no regular Saturday/Sunday Masses, our contributions are not sufficient to pay our bills each month. PSJXXIII has had to take funds from our savings for St. Rita to make ends meet. We are looking at possible ways to reduce expenses, but most are set expenses. So, we need to increase our contributions YOU can help!.
Donate to St.Rita with a monthHe ly contribution. Bring to Saturday prayer services or take/mail directly to PSJXXIII and mark clearly for St. Rita's upkeep. The address is
St. Rita of Cascia Church
c/o Pope St. John XXIII Parish
7025 S Park
Tacoma,WA 98408
