If you have a petition in your heart, or just need a space in solitude to pray, go visit, St Rita Shrine in Philadelphia. The shrine opens at 9:00 am. You can sense the sacredness once you walk into lower church. St Rita is known for the impossible prayers. Bring your prayers and petitions. There are confessionals during the day. The shrine has a gift shop on the premises. A young man by the name Michael is there to assist you with any questions. He is friendly and knowledgeable. 💕 P.S. She is unofficially the patron of baseball. Daily Masses Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. Noon A Novena to Our Mother of Good Counsel is prayed after both Masses on Monday, and a Novena to Saint Rita is prayed after both Masses on Wednesday.

The shrine is amazing. The young man who works in the gift shop is such a pleasure. He is so sweet and the light within him is truly touching. Such a great person to interact with- especially as I imagine he is in contact with people who might be feeling hopeless. An angel among us.

This church was the most beautiful amazing place that I have ever walked into! From the front of the church all the way inside from the basement to the upper floor had the most amazing spiritual images and history and color...etc (I could go on and on)I have Never seen a more spectacular place of worship for Catholics or a even been to a Shrine for a Saint in my life and I can't believe what I saw and how I felt going in there tonight for the very first time on Ash Wednesday. It was the most amazing experience I ever had!. I'm really looking forward to going more often the priest was amazing it was very soft spoken and very clear to understand and spoke to the congregation in a way that I've never heard before it was so clean covid safe and friendly it was just perfect. I wish that I had more pictures to post but if I can come back and post more I absolutely will because I will definitely get be going back to St Rita's

Truly a spiritual place to visit. Have been there many times and always feel renewed once I leave. Gift shop has great selection of religious items to purchase and the shrine itself is so beautiful. Truly a great place to visit if you are in the Philadelphia area.

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
