National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia, Philadelphia, PA (Jubilee Site)

National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia, Philadelphia, PA (Jubilee Site)

Founded in 1907 by the Augustinian Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova, the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia is a Roman Catholic community of prayer and worship located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Inspired by the life and witness of Saint Rita of Cascia—an Augustinian saint known as a healer, reconciler, and peacemaker—the Shrine serves people from all walks of life as they live these virtues and encounter God in their midst.
As one of the few saints in our Catholic tradition who was a daughter, a wife, a mother, a widow, and an Augustinian nun, the unique story of Saint Rita’s life offers us a beautiful example of perseverance, hope, and deep faith in the face of uncertainty, loss, and suffering. Ask Saint Rita, the patron saint of impossible causes, to intercede to God on your behalf.
