Let Saint Rita Be There For You . . . Communion for Sick and Homebound Parishioners St. Rita ministers provide Communion home visits. Contact the Parish Office (355.1292) or Jill Muhs • 355.9810 • [email protected].

 Anointing of the Sick Please notify us (355.1292) as early as possible for the Anointing of the Sick, the sacrament intended for the seriously ill or dying. It is Our Lord’s special presence and companionship in serious time of need. Anointing may take place in the home, at the hospital or elsewhere and as often as once a month. If someone should die  without anointing, remember that the desire to receive is sufficient and the Lord cares!

If You Should Experience the Loss of a Loved One Please call us at 355.1292 If you feel you will be in need, or your loved one has passed, we will assist in making arrangements with your chosen funeral directors; refer you to our liturgy and music directors; and offer you helpful guidelines and a book that will aid in the selection of readings for the Mass or Memorial Service. Areas we can help you with prior to the passing may help in the planning of funeral services. We know that this can be a tough time and we want you to know that your parish is there for you. PLEASE UNDERSTAND we only have one resident priest, sometimes arrangements for another priest may be needed.

SAINT RITA

OF CASCIA CHURCH

REV. MSGR. RICHARD KREKELBERG

PASTOR’S CORNER

Easter Sunday March 31, 2013 We are witnesses of all that He did … This Man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible … to us who ate and drank with him after He rose from the dead.

Dear Parishioners and Visitors to St. Rita, BLESSED AND GLORIOUS E ASTER !

 We know that for Christians, the Glory of God is twofold: not only has Jesus “risen as he said,” but now his promises have been made true for all and for all time. And his promises are three:  THE DOORS OF HEAVEN HAVE BEEN MADE OPEN TO US IF WE ARE SORRY FOR OUR SINS,  AND HAVE FIRM PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT, OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN

and  THAT HE WILL REMAIN WITH US UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

 This is the day of The Resurrection of the Lord and it is our s tanding invitation TO LIVE  THE RISEN LIFE. The elements of the risen life are Jesus’ beatitudes: being poor in spirit, having mercy, being pure in heart, working for justice and making peace—it is living Jesus’ great commandment, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Living the risen life, according to Him, comes with the following benefits: having mercy rendered to us, being comforted in mourning, satisfaction that endures unto eternal life, inheriting the earth, being called children of God, and inclusion in the Kingdom of God. For you and for your loved ones personally, for our Universal Church, and for our dear parish of St. Rita, I pray Jesus’ Risen Life in abundance this Easter and beyond! And with a very grateful heart for all who partner with me in pastoral ministry and who choose “To be Church in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health,”  —Msgr. Richard
