Heavenly Father, we the people of St. Rita
Catholic Church praise and thank You for calling
us to be Your people. Pour down Your grace and
mercy upon our parish.

Holy Spirit, send Your fire into our hearts and
minds. Help us to obey your will. Renew
us, unite us, make us one family in You.

Lord Jesus, we offer and consecrate our beloved
parish to Your Sacred Heart, through the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Mother.

Almighty and ever-living God, we beg
forgiveness for our sins, the sins of our city, the
sins of our country, and the sins of our world. We
declare You to be our King. Free us from the lies
and empty promises of evil.

We pray for our priests, deacons, and religious; for
our school and parish ministries; for our families,
our youth, the sick, the lonely, and the elderly. We
pray for the needs of all our parishioners, and for
our own special intentions.
