REMINDER: We do celebrate funerals at St. Rita. Fr. Tuan is very accommodating and dates depend on pastoral availability. We also rent the church hall for special occasions, religious or celebratory. We recently had a beautiful First Communion celebration held in the hall. It's a nice size for memorials celebrations, dinners, family reunions, meetings, retreats, etc. Volunteers are welcome to help us with receptions. Contact me for information.

Thanks to those of you who have sent donation checks for our church. With no regular weekend Masses, our contributions are not sufficient to pay our bills each month.  Donate to St.Rita with a monthly or occasional contribution. Bring to Saturday prayer services or take/mail directly to PSJXXIII and mark clearly for St. Rita's upkeep. Also, consider renting the church hall for family parties, reunions, etc. There is a rental fee.

St, Rita, Pray for Us
Fr. Sacco, Pray for Us

God Bless,

We need parishioners to join our facility team.  Volunteering as part of the facility team is a beautiful way to serve God and your parish community. By helping care for the church, you contribute to maintaining a sacred space where we gather to worship, pray, and seek comfort. Your efforts, no matter how small, help create a welcoming and peaceful environment for others to encounter God. It's a humble and rewarding form of stewardship that allows you to give back to the church that nourishes your faith, while also strengthening bonds with fellow parishioners as you work together for a common purpose.
