Written by Thomas Koenig, the Philadelphia Citizen ran an article on November 24, 2020 entitled "Let Philly Be Our Guide Out of Our Divisions." Koenig offers the story of Saint Rita, and the work of the Shrine's Outreach Ministries, as an example of how to pursue peace and reconciliation in today's divisive climate. The Shrine remains committed to serving the Philadelphia community, guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and inspired by the life of Saint Rita of Cascia.
