Dear Friends,
Thank You David Viafore and his crew for beautifying the grounds around St. Rita Church and rectory. I am attaching a couple more photos. Come see in person how beautiful our buildings and grounds are. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our church!
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!.
1) Donate to St.Rita with a monthly 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 Avenue
Tacoma,WA 98408
2) Come to our fundraisers and have FUN while raising FUNDS for our beloved church. We are hoping to have one this fall in early November. We are waiting for Fr. Tuan and his parish team for a date. We are praying for a Mass and plan on serving a meal afterwards with a raffle. Raffle prizes are welcome for the event.
