Welcome to St. Rita Catholic Church
A Century of Faith in Our Neighborhood
For 100 years, St. Rita Catholic Church has been a steadfast beacon of faith in the heart of northwest Dayton. This deeply rooted neighborhood parish is home to loyal members who have remained a strong presence in the Shiloh community, a place also significant as the home of Sr. Dorothy Stang. As part of the St. Gaspar Family of Parishes, we are a dedicated community focused on love, service, and spiritual growth. Faithful individuals and families alike attend St. Rita to embody a profound love for their church and actively live out their faith through compassion and outreach. We invite you to join our close-knit community and experience the enduring spirit of St. Rita.
Our Purpose
As a diverse, welcoming Catholic family rooted in the Precious Blood of Jesus, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we provide spiritual direction through God’s Word and His Sacraments to guide our community to live as disciples of Jesus, who share His love and Good News.
We will be a vibrant, worshipping, sacrificial Catholic family who loves God and sees dignity in all humanity. As we are fed by the Eucharist and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, we will grow in our relationship with Jesus and serve those in our community.
