Steubenville Conference
New Translation of the Roman Missal
On November 27th, the First Sunday of Advent, the prayers and responses we have been accustomed to saying during the Mass will be changed. Are you ready for it? Below is a movie clip showing Fr. Barron's commentary on the new translation of the Mass which is worth viewing for its wealth of information.
When you walk into the church on Sunday, November 27th, you will find new missalettes, as well as pew cards, containing the new prayers and responses to help you follow the Mass.
2012 Mass Intentions
The 2012 Mass Intention Book is available for parishioners and devotees of Saint Rita's to put their Mass intentions. A maximum of 10 intentions may be requested (nor more than 3 intentions for weekend/Sunday Masses).
Also, we still have dates available for weekday and weekend Mass Intentions for 2011 for those who are interested. Please contact the parish office for details.
