PARISH MEMBERSHIP
Welcome to St. Rita Church! Please join us, as together we worship God and grow in love for one another under the protection of our patroness, St. Rita of Cascia. Registration forms can be found in the Russell Road entrance of the church, or online at www.stritaalexandria.com/parish-registration/.
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Please contact the Parish Office to make arrangements to attend the baptism preparation class, held on the first Tuesday of each month. Please note that it is possible for expectant parents to attend the preparation class before the birth of their child.
SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY
Please contact the Parish Office to obtain an application to begin marriage preparation. Diocesan regulations require 6 months of marriage preparation. Living together before marriage is sinful and harmful to future marriage. Couples who are living together will be asked to live separately during the marriage preparation time.

Please contact the Parish office so that the hospitalized and homebound may receive pastoral care from the priests and volunteers of St. Rita.
