This week the St. Rita School community gathered to celebrate the charism of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that first stirred the heart of Clelia Merloni, who founded the religious congregation. The remembrance was celebrated by song and word.
The anniversary of Mother Clelia's birth also was recently marked at Sacred Heart Academy, also run by the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Merloni is currently being investigated by the Catholic Church for possible sainthood.
