A Special Message from Father Mario
Dear Saint Rita Family,
Welcome to Saint Rita Church! We are known as the friendly parish as we welcome everyone, no matter your origin or where in your faith journey you are at the present time. We are a diverse and vibrant group of people. Our goal is to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus through our Liturgical Celebrations as well as our many programs and prayer groups. We offer numerous opportunities for you to join together in prayer, friendship, and fellowship with our parish community.
I would like to personally invite you to come and experience the richness of our faith community through celebrating Mass, receiving the Sacraments, participating in our praise and worship and building up God’s Kingdom through our many outreach programs. I am here to walk with you on your spiritual journey, share the Gospel message with you and serve the Lord by assisting those in need. I am extremely proud of how strong St. Rita’s stewardship principles are and I encourage you to share your time, talent, and treasure with our parish community. I look forward to seeing you at Mass and getting to meet you and your family.
Father Mario,
Pastor

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire you with all my heart.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
I ask you to come spiritually into my heart
and unite myself to you completely.
Please do not let me ever be separated from you.
Mi Jesús, yo creo que tú estas presente en el Santísimo Sacramento.
Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y te deseo con todo mi corazón.
Ya que ahora no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente,
Te pido que vengas espiritualmente a mi corazón.
Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras en mi corazón
Y unidos a ti por completo.
Por favor, no me dejes separarme de ti.
