Fernandes. The first Mass was celebrated on **June 1, 1935**, in a rented house, with Fr. Francis Xavier Fernandes serving as the founding chaplain. He named the church **Cascia**, after the town in Italy associated with our patron saint, St. Rita. Over the years, the parish grew into a vibrant faith community. The church building, belfry, presbytery, parish hall, marble altar, and portico were established through the dedication of generations of priests, parishioners, and benefactors.
