Marla Grassi found info regarding the daily readings booklets we used in December. To subscribe for 20 copies a month for a year comes to $665. We are open to donations to pay for it. If we can collect some funds, Marla will order them. In this way, we will not have to print copies of the readings each Saturday. Let her know if you would like to contribute.

Donations for the upkeep of St. Rita are always welcome. They can be brought on Saturdays or mailed directly to Pope St. John XXIII, clearly marked for St.Rita.

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.
