Dear Friends,
We have a change for our Saturday prayer services. For the remaining Saturdays of Lent, we will pray the Stations of the Cross in place of the regular prayer service. We hope to see you Saturday at our Prayer Service. We will ask for cross and candle bearers each week. Invite others from other parishes to join us.

We have added two special Masses, one in April and one in May. We are asking for volunteer help. Please let me know if you are willing to help. Note these upcoming dates at St. Rita:
· We will pray Stations of the Cross each Saturday in Lent and on Good Friday, April 18. Fr. Hendry will lead us in prayer. We need a Cross bearer and two candle bearers,
· Our Church Consecration Day on Saturday, April 26, will include an 11 a.m. Mass and then fellowship with coffee and treats in the church hall afterwards. Please let me know if you would like to be an Eucharist Minister at Mass. Cookies or pastry donations will be very much appreciated. Raffle tickets will be sold after Mass.
· St. Rita's Feast Day is on Saturday, May 24. It also includes Mass at 11 a.m., followed by a light lunch in the church hall. Again, we are hoping you will volunteer to be an Eucahrist Minister at Mass. Email me! A freewill donation of a minimum of $10 donation per person for the lunch is suggested. We ask that you RSVP to me by May 10th so that we can plan the food for the lunch. There will be a raffle at the end of the luncheon. Tickets will be sold after both Masses with the drawing on May 24. No need to be present to win.
***** If you would like to participate as a minister at Good Friday Stations of the Cross and either or both Masses, please let me know in what ministry and I will have one of our organizers contact you.
Add Sunday, July 27 to your calendar for the Centennial Celebration of St. Ann Parish at the 9:45 a.m. Mass at Pope St. John XXIII church. Details coming soon.
