    • Welcome to St. Rita in the desert

      St. Rita in the Desert serves the Vail and surrounding communittees of Tucson, Corona de Tucson, and Pima County. 

      We are a family oriented, community of Christians involved in all parts of our Catholic ministry striving to live according to the word of God through prayer and by loving and respecting our neighbors in an atmosphere of joyful living.

      We do this by celebrating liturgy, caring for the poor, offering religious education, providing opportunities for parishioners to participate in all church activities, responding with God’s love to all those in need and welcoming all who seek to worship God and live our faith with us
       

      Our thanks to Cecila Lawrence for the use of her  "St Rita of Cascia icon"
