The parish describes itself as an active Catholic community welcoming God’s children for worship and service. St. Rita began as a summer mission in 1916 through donated land, materials, and local initiative. After diocesan and pastoral transitions, a larger 400-seat church opened at the present area in August 1967 and remained active year-round. Current ministries include faith formation from prekindergarten through high school, adult formation, OCIA, women’s formation, youth discipleship, music, liturgical service, St. Vincent de Paul, Baby Love, and child-protection programming. For a first Mass, ask about childcare, building access, hearing devices, music at each hour, Eucharistic etiquette, and Facebook replay length.
