When St. Rita was founded, it was so easy to form community–it was a small parish with only one Mass and everyone knew each other.  Today the community gathered at St. Rita will still share the Eucharist together but now at three Liturgies each weekend that will include hundreds of visitors. This web site is meant to be a means of gathering us all together and keeping each other informed.

Are you new to St. Rita? We welcome you and hope that you will find not only a parish but also a home here. For 36 years St. Rita Parish has proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Catholic community of Santa Rosa Beach and surrounding areas.  We look forward to your presence as we gather to pray and worship as a community.
