Foreword: So few of the friends of St. Rita are conversant with the facts of Her life and why our great School derives its naine froin Her instead of froin soine great inale Saint, that the Cascian wishes to pre- sent, in this the fiftieth anniversary year of Her Canonization, the story of Her niortal life as a ineans to a better understanding of our Patroness, and as a guide and beacon to light and enlighten our be- nighted paths through our own inortal storins to the Revered Portals of Salvation, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. ,Q -:-- '.,, - mf, A iii-'?f T-Illylls 1 'I ' v amp.

St. Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Order, and St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Urder, had both breathed their first in this hallowed province. Umbria also has been named as the place of birtl1 of eight of the many Saints of the Order of St. Augusf . 1' yHJT -r:v n'if1FTT , ' -75 fY 5' iff'w .f f - -- ., .. 11912211 . ff- 'K -5. -..f 'fu' l'lH , l-sith -.
