SAINT RITA
OF
CASCIA CHURCH
THANK YOU!
The Holy Week 2015 was a wonderful time of St. Rita Parish being Church as we worshipped together at
liturgies that were filled with prayer and symbolism. Through our worship we return to God the gifts of
time and faith that have been given to usanother way we fulfill our call to good Stewardship.
One of the most important elements of the Churchs liturgies is the Assemblythose who come together
to offer together their prayers of worship. So, first of all a big thank you to all of YOU who participated
in our Holy Week services!
AND thank you to our Celebrant, our Pastor, Msgr. Krekelberg who led us in worship and inspired us
with his moving homilies.
Christ is here!
Christ departed from our sight
that we might return to our heart,
and there find Him.
For He departed, and behold, He is here!

Q: We have concerns about safety for our school children
and also for participants in ministries and people attending
services during any construction. What steps will be taken
to assure that St. Rita stays safe?
A. Safety is an important issue for everyone, including
those who have been working on the Master Plan. The
multi-phased Plan is designed to address this issue. Each
Phase will be done separately, to separate the construction
area from the rest of the campus and plant. Timing of
work has been planned to take advantage of downtime
including summer vacation. The church will be done by
project, allowing for each to be completed with as little
disruption to schedules as possible, as was done with the
new roof. Roofers planned their day around the church
calendar and stopped work during scheduled church
services. Please know that safety is a primary concern for
the staff and for the planners and that every needed
precaution will be taken. Also, we are happy to say that
many safety features are built into the design of the Master
Plan. From removing steep inclines, and adding elevators,
to improved lighting and ADA regulation restrooms, safety
cameras, and improved parameter fencing, all facets of the
plant will present a safe, as well as attractive, environment
for visitors, parishioners, parents and students.
