SEWING MINISTRY

Come join us and make a difference in the community!   We make a variety of items: fleece hats/mittens, pediatric pillows, clothing protectors, baby blankets/burp cloths, bandana bibs, Christmas stockings for the troops, quilts, altar linens, walkers bags, and clothing protectors for the elderly, plus much more!  No experience is necessary…we need help pressing, cutting, and pinning.  We can also teach or refresh sewing skills for those who are interested.  We have sewing machines and a variety of donated fabrics.

If you would like to learn more about this ministry, please email or call St. Rita church office (parishoffice@stritarockford.org/815-398-0853).

 

MEETINGS AT WAHL HALL (Downstairs Meeting Rm), SECOND WEDNESDAY FROM 9 AM TO NOON

IF YOU LOVE TO SEW, JOIN OUR GROUP TO USE YOUR TALENT TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY!

CAPPING OFF A GREAT MARCH:

Great job by everyone to complete 79 pediatric surgical caps for OSF; the hospital staff was very appreciative of your efforts!  Our group also created costumes for the Lenten presentation of the Sorrowful Mysteries.  See the picture to the left or perhaps come to the performance at St. Rita on March 23rd to see them in person!

Please note: Our meetings starting in April will now be in the lower meeting room at Wahl Hall.  In addition to stairs, there is also an elevator available.
