COVID-19 UPDATES

" Due to the spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations being driven by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant, Governor Brown issued an executive order requiring face masks/coverings statewide at all indoor public gatherings beginning August 13, 2021.

Effective this Friday, face masks are required for all adults and children older than 5 gathered in all Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon."
Beginning tomorrow, August 13, all Mass-goers to St. Rita Catholic Church must wear mask when coming to church except those exempted by the mandate. We continue to pray for an end to the pandemic. God bless you all.

Please see link to read the whole directive from the Archdiocese of Portland.

Parishioners who are unable to wear facemasks due to a health condition may occupy the mezzanine area (former choir loft) of the church.
