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).

Springing Into Action!
We had to cancel our February meeting due to inclement weather but were back in action in March! We had an informative visit from Northern Illinois Hospice and worked on making clothing protectors for AnamCare Nursing Home. Members were able to get 36 protectors cut and will continue to finish them at home. We also were proud to learn that our ministry produced 822 items for our community in 2024! Well done everyone…keep up the great work! If you are interested in volunteering for a fun and fruitful activity, come join us!!
