My grandparents,parents and my husband Matt and I married St Rita 1979. Shrine is beautiful and her novenas In May are very special to us. Our funeral services,including my husband 2013 will never be forgotten. Diverse religions would also appreciate the beauty and symbols of our saints. I still feel the memory of hearing my grandmother opera voice echoing in church

For anyone that's interested, St Rita's parking lot entrence is on the SIDE, not Broad Street, (the front). However, once you exit the lot you'll be on a one-way street facing Broad St.

From Visitation Monastery Phylly and going to St Rita Shrine can you get a public transport

Elena Starr | Oct 30, 2018
Bennett Rosenthal | Oct 30, 2018

Absolutely. It's right on Broad Street in Philadelphia. The Broad Street line and the C bus both go directly there and they have their own parking lot as well. (Try the Transit app. It should get you right there. From Visitation on City Ave its very easy to get into center City and sorry Philly)

Hi Alicia, I am Fr. Robert Guessetto, OSA and I am serving at the Sanctuary of Saint Rita in Philadelphia. Masses are not celebrated in Spanish here, but I am available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation or if one wants other information. In the parish of the Annunciation BVM on 10th St and Dickinson St there are Masses in Spanish: Sundays at 9:00 am; Monday at 7:00 pm (Main Church) and Thursday at 7:00 pm (Chapel below). I celebrate frequently there. For more information you can call 215-546-8333 and ask for me. God bless you. P. Robert
