Mission Outreach Commission

Mission Outreach Commission

The Mission Outreach Commission coordinates activities that assist our sister parish, Los Santos Martires, in Chimbote, Peru, Fr Mbiche's orphanage in Tanzania and Fr Albert's school in Ghana. Locally they support St Rita's service opportunities at the Listening House. The commission organizes various fundraising activities, including the Spring Plant Sale to provide monetary support for these efforts. Everyone is welcome to join the commission! 

Our Global Connections


St Rita's shares in celebrating our universal faith with our Catholic brothers and sister around the world. Learn more about these relationships at our Sister Parish page.

The Archdiocese requires all volunteers to be Essential 3 qualified. This includes a background check, Virtus training and a signed code of conduct. We can help you meet these requirements, click here for more info.

LISTENING HOUSE IN ST PAUL 

Listening House is a sanctuary from the streets where practical assistance, counsel and a friendly ear are offered to people who are homeless, disadvantaged or lonely.  Staff and volunteers aspire to create a sense of community and connection by promoting respect for all.  Members of the outreach serve at Listening House, wash the feet of the homeless and put together weekend meal bags for clients.  To help with the weekend meal kits, you can drop off items like protein bars, beef sticks, fruit cups, granola bars, cracker snacks and ensure in the basket placed in the hallway near the office during the beginning of the month.  Meal bags are packed on the second Friday of the month after daily Mass - all are welcome to help pack!
