Rita de Casia nació en Italia en 1386. A la edad de 12 años, fue forzada a casarse con un hombre abusivo y tuvo que soportar su ira hasta su muerte, 18 años después. El único consuelo de Rita fueron dos sus hijos, pero ellos también murieron, así que ella decidió entrar a un convento y dedicar su vida a Cristo. Rita es venerada como la "Santa de los Imposibles" y la "Abogada de los Casos Desesperados." En 1907, George Lovatt construyó esta iglesia de estilo renacentista en Filadelfia, que luego se convirtió en un centro nacional de la devoción a Santa Rita.
