The ladies of the yet-to-be-established parish provided its name--St. Rita of Cascia is the patron of impossible causes. The first small church was built on Hickory Street in Mt. Ida and a parish was founded on September 21, 1924. Through depression, war and post-war growth, political and social change and into a new millennium St. Rita Church has grown under its namesake's patronage. A beautiful new church was built in 1949 and a school was founded in 1952. The St Rita Centennial Committee tells the stories of a century of community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e St Rita Parish Centennial Committee, St Rita's Catholic Church\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467156752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467156752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"St Rita Parish Centennial Committee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795484758271,"sku":"9781467156752","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_273c2719-f1e0-44a4-8bce-2461d6066362.jpg?v=1744947748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-st-rita-st-rita-parish-centennial-committee-9781467156752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
