Meet the St. Rita’s Family at the Semi-Annual Welcome Event

Twice a year, St. Rita's parishioners roll out the welcome mat for new and prospective members.

If you're new to or  and would like to meet more of the parish family, then the semi-annual welcome event this Sunday, Oct.  9 at 3 p.m. is just what the doctor ordered.

Whether you've just moved to Sierra Madre recently and are looking for a new Catholic church or you've belonged to St. Rita’s for a while but don’t feel you’ve connected, the St Rita's family wants to meet you.

Join parish members on Sunday for a casual wine and cheese gathering at the home of Dick and Chris Bertrand in Sierra Madre.
