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.
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church was originally established in 1856, however the existing church building dates back to 1929. As the third church building to house Saint Paul's, it is by far the largest and most magnificent of the three. Its spacious interiors are dominated by the intricately and elaborately carved alter, and the large window above it that is filled with stained glass predominantly in shades of blue. Overhead the glorious inverted boat like ceiling shelters the congregation as they unite in prayer and worship. As a keeper of the history and devotion of the members of its congregation, the church houses a number of memorials including a stained glass window dedicated to the memory of those soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. Three services are held at the church each Sunday, and all are welcome to attend the services irrespective of age. Although they differ in style, each is aimed to apply teachings from the scripture to present times and to contemporary lifestyles.
