St. Rita Shrine Chapel Tours

This educational Shrine Tour is a new offering by St. Rita High School to local Catholic Grammar Schools. Hosted by Fr. Tom McCarthy, O.S.A., an Augustinian priest and President of St. Rita High School, the tour begins with the amazing life of St. Rita of Cascia. From there, the tour presents the lives of the 14 saints and blesseds, who have shrines within the chapel.

The students are given the opportunity to pray and explore the lives of each saint and blessed as they travel from shrine to shrine that are complete with brief life story for each. The morning ends with a Novena to St. Rita and each student receiving a blessed medal of St. Rita of Cascia.
