SAINT RITA PARISH

 Welcome to Saint Rita Parish!

A community of people helping people 

Over the next few weeks, you will be hearing about our upcoming renewal initiative “People Helping People.” This effort continues to be very important as we move forward with the mission and vision of Saint Rita Parish. We, as a parish family, have changed so many lives in our community! In order to continue our mission and ministries, we encourage all parishioners to spend time in prayer and discussion with your family reflecting on the ministry we do in the name of Jesus. Our special Covenant Weekend will be celebrated on October 9 and 10. If you have any questions regarding the “People Helping People” Initiative, please feel free to contact the Parish Office.

A message from Bishop Malesic: It is with deep sadness that I share with the Catholic community of the Diocese of Cleveland the news of the passing this morning of Bishop Anthony M. Pilla. Bishop Pilla died peacefully at his personal residence. In my short time as the bishop of Cleveland I came to know Bishop Pilla as a very warm, kind-hearted and deeply faithful shepherd, always dedicated to the people of the diocese. He was generous with his time and sharing his knowledge and concern for the diocese with me. As a leader in the national Church, Bishop Pilla was an inspiration and example to me throughout my priesthood and in my years as a bishop. I felt so welcomed by him when I came to the Diocese of Cleveland, a Church that he loved so much. As a leader in the community and a friend to so many, he will be greatly missed.
