Mural Contest at the Shrine
We are excited to announce a new mural contest at the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia!
To commemorate and celebrate the 125th anniversary of Saint Rita's canonization by Pope Leo XIII, we are inviting artists of all backgrounds and experience levels to help us commission a new image at the Shrine!
More information about this contest, including submission guidelines, can be found here.
As you will see, we are inviting artists from around the country to submit their designs by Sunday, November 16, 2025, with the intention of having it installed and dedicated by the Solemn Feast of Saint Rita on Friday, May 22, 2026. We are awarding a $12,500 prize for the person who is chosen to install this new artwork on our campus.
If you or someone you know has any interest in submitting a design, please follow the instructions found on the website. And, please feel free to share this information with art departments, artists, and other connections that you think might be interested in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
