1905 Guild

We invite your partnership in continuing the fine heritage of St. Rita of Cascia High School by becoming a member of The 1905 Guild. This honorary society celebrates the traditions of St. Rita of Cascia High School and its legacy to the future. It is comprised of generous benefactors who have provided for St. Rita in their estate plans in the way of a will, life-income agreement, charitable remainder trust, gift annuity, life insurance policy, or remainder interest in a residence or farm. By remembering St. Rita this way, alumni, parents, and friends are able to become perpetual partners with the school while also being involved in its contemporary work during their lifetimes.

We chose to name the society The 1905 Guild to celebrate when our tradition of excellence began on the Southside of Chicago. That year – 1905 -  Fr. James F. Green, O.S.A brought the Augustinian core values of Truth, Unity and Love to 63rd and Claremont.  During the 105 years since, the school has relocated to 77th and Western, and over 23,000 men have benefitted from these core values.

We honor and thank all farsighted individuals who are part of The 1905 Guild. We are grateful for their commitment to the ideals of Augustinians and St. Rita High School’s mission of excellence that is continuing to thrive today.
