The celebration of the Mass with choral accompaniment for the deceased members of the St. Rita Sodality and an invitation to the families to join the members of the sodality in the Shrine Center for refreshments and Camaraderie always is heartwarming.

The Mass, along with inspiring music for the Feast Day of St Rita was a solemn tribute to a woman who exemplified the love of Christ in her very being as a wife, mother and religious.

The beautiful roses are but a symbol of love that wither and die, but most important of all is to keep St Rita’s legacy and the energy that makes the Sodality’s mission of keeping the lifelines of St Rita alive through works of charity and fervent prayers.

Congratulations to the nine new members that were inducted into the Sodality.
