St. Rita's is a service group of ladies from the parish. Meetings are held the 4th Wednesday in one of our member's homes.

They provide food and serve for funeral receptions.

Some of their other projects include: twice yearly Pie Sales, Bake Table at the Annual CWL Bazaar, Continental Breakfasts, Manna Ministry, and Pastoral Zone Dinner.  Money made through the efforts of our group support charities such as St. Vincent de Paul, Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank, Kara Centre, Louise Dean School, and the Parish Facilities Expansion.

They also provide assistance to other charitable or worthwhile projects in our church or as the need arises through special request. Most St. Rita's members are also CWL members. They also take time for social activities and our spouses are included in several of these activities.

For further information contact Margaret Anne Quinn through the parish office.

  Funeral Lunches
When a bereaved family calls the parish to make funeral arrangements one of the services we offer is a funeral luncheon.  Our St. Rita's Ladies Group set up, prepare the food, serve and clean up after the luncheon.  They present a great luncheon.
 

There are two options:
1.  Full Luncheon:  dainty sandwiches, pickles, goodies, tea, coffee. 

 

The fee for this service is $5.00/person. 
They will add fruit trays for an additional $1.50/person.

 

2.  Simple Luncheon:  loaves, a bit of fruit & cheese, tea, coffee. 

 

The fee for this service is $3.50 per person.

 

The ladies use the proceeds from the funeral luncheons to support their many charities.
