CHECK IT OUT!
This year’s Appeal has begun, look for a letter and a pledge envelope in the mail and be generous in making a pledge.
Usually we don’t realize all that our Catholic Church does until
we are the ones who need help or support,
or when we realize our pledge directly supports the life of our parish.
Some of the many, many programs that our pledges make happen are:
• Training and education of priests
• Mass for Shut-ins
• Formation of deacons
• Ministries of Catholic Charities
• The office of Marriage Annulments
• On-going training of catechists, teachers, and youth ministers
So be generous. Make your pledge for this year. And if you haven’t given in the past,
God bless you for your generous support of our ministry.

In just a few very few days, Spring will be here, and 100 years will have passed. 100 years of worship and service, ministry and mission. In this century, the St. Rita church community has been formed, grown and flourished, matured and become vibrant!
​
Catholic families and supportive friends brought boulders, stones and building materials from their fields and homes to the site that is now St. Rita, Catholic Church of Holly. The pastor at the time named the church St. Rita, as nearly everything that had been accomplished had seemed impossible! Generations have come to be welcomed and embraced. Faith has grown and blessings have raised us all! And now 100 years of St. Rita Catholic Church are celebrated!
​
As pastor, blessed as I am by God and God‘s people of St. Rita, I encourage you to take part in the ways and in the habits, in the “newness-es” and in the traditions that are St. Rita! As this centennial year unfolds, there will be ways for us to share our faith, to give thanks to God, to embrace each and every blessing and challenge!
​
Join us!! Join in! 100 years happens only once every hundred years! Saint Rita, pray for us!
Love, Father Dave
