In financial straits, St. Rita Parish to close popular child care program while facing $1.3M in repair needs

CALEDONIA — St. Rita Parish has announced it will close its popular child care program on June 30.
The program, C.A.R.E.S., has a budget deficit of nearly $60,000; the parish itself has a budget deficit; and the repairs needed for the historic Cascia Hall are expected to cost more than $1 million. Cascia Hall is deteriorating to the point it may be a safety risk to keep it open.
Petersen
The Rev. Michael Petersen made the announcement during recentl Sunday services.
The parish — like restaurants, theaters, and clothing stores — is feeling the COVID-19 economic pinch.
With the doors closed for a while last year, gatherings limited and annual fundraisers are canceled, churches across the country are struggling with revenue. St. Rita, 4339 Douglas Ave., isn’t even having a Lenten fish fry this year.
