Our founding ladies are looking down on us as the St. Rita Sodality is celebrating 100 years of preserving the St. Rita legacy. Congratulations to the five new members that were inducted into the Sodality on May 17th. May St. Rita’s gentle spirit guide you.

On May 16th, we remembered twelve beloved members who have gone to their eternal rest this past year with a candlelight service with members and the families of the deceased. We celebrated the Feast of St. Rita on May 17th with a beautiful solemn Mass and the symphony of choral music. Blessed roses were distributed symbolic of a wish that St. Rita conveyed on her death bed to bring her a rose from her garden on a cold Winter day in January.

Miraculously, she got her wish. The Feast Day culminated in the Shrine Center with a continental breakfast, good conversation, a short meeting and a raffle. St. R

ita inspires us through prayer and good works to build the Kingdom of God. ~Anita Sapienza
