St. Rita’s

Prayer Ministry

There will be a

Prayer Box located

on the same table

as the Prayer Intention Book. The

Prayer Box is more private and will

be locked; this allows the prayer

request to remain private and not

seen by others. Each person will

have the option to use the prayer

book or the Prayer Box.

The members of St. Rita’s

Prayer Ministry will then pray for

each personal intention.

Body,

heart,

and soul

All youth, elementary through high

school, are invited to attend a

Summer Youth Fest. July 16-18,

6-8 p.m. Join us for lively music,

good food, dynamic speakers and

fun activities!

Bring your friends!

Registration after Mass beginning

June 23 or Register online:

Dear Parish Family,

I want to express a fond and affectionate farewell to one of our

very special ministry leaders. Kourtney Paiz, the leader of our

Journey of Faith Ministry will be moving to the city of Portales, New

Mexico as the Director of Annual Giving at ENMU. Kourtney, her

husband, Sixto, and their little boy, Beaux, have been members of

St. John’s since 2016. They will be missed for their dedication to

the parish and their love and devotion to the Lord.

On behalf of our parish family I want to express my thanks to

Kourtney for her leadership and ministry. Please pray for Kourtney,

Sixto and Beaux as they leave us to join a new community. And

may the Lord bless them and keep them in the palm of His loving

hands.

Fr. David

The following is a note that Kourtney asked that I share with you:

Parish Family-

Thank you so much for loving our family. We have

been truly blessed by each of you. Thank you for

allowing me to come into the Catholic Faith here and

then help others on their journey. We will miss this

parish and the people, but will be back to visit. Again,

thank you for caring for our family.

Blessings to each of you,

The Paiz family!
