Our Beliefs
By embracing each person’s dignity, value, worth and destiny, St. Rita Mercy Foundation seeks to provide comfort and hope, showing that through God the impossible becomes possible. We focus our giving on addressing the basic needs of humanity, and are guided by the seven Corporal Works of Mercy:
1. Feed the hungry.
2. Give water to the thirsty.
3. Clothe the naked.
4. Shelter the homeless.
5. Visit the sick.
6. Visit the imprisoned.
7. Bury the dead.
The St. Rita Mercy Foundation focuses upon assisting the weakest and most vulnerable, namely the sick, the poor, the old, and the unborn, acknowledging that all are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image.
The St. Rita Mercy Foundation was founded in 2015 by Bryan and Stephanie Grane as a tribute to St. Rita of Cascia, the patron saint of impossible causes. She is a powerful saint whose intercession has been attributed to many amazing miracles. Through her divine inspiration, the St. Rita Mercy Foundation strives to achieve it’s own miracles by creating opportunities of hope for those who feel they have none, and by activating positive change in the lives of those who need it most.
