Our Vision

St. Rita will be a community of comtemplatives in action -- known, esteemed and admired by our local community of Dade City because of our presence, service, example and inspiration. We will be an attractive force with jubilant liturgies, good music and homilies -- inspired and sent Marian Disciples of Christ in mission.
