Seek Refuge with St. Rita Parish

St. Rita Catholic Church and School in New Orleans have been a refuge in the Gert Town-Fontainebleau area since 1921. YOU can help us make our evangelization task more meaningful for the next decade of St. Rita Scholars and Parishioners.

We’re excited to partner with the School for this year's #iGiveCatholic giving day. After Black Friday, Shop Local Saturday, Cyber Monday, consider participating in #iGiveCatholic on Tuesday, December 1st.

Project

This year, we seek to make renovations in our Parish multi-use facility - The Moreau Center. Partnering for the first time, St. Rita Parish and School join our fundraising efforts to better ready our community center for events and gatherings to come. Projects include repainting of the walls and ceiling, fresh window treatments, and upgraded storage solutions. Additionally, 10% of all funds raised will be set aside for Tuition Assistance and Teacher Support.

Join us for #iGiveCatholic 2020!
