As a Catholic, one reason for stopping in Italy on the way to visit my folks in the Philippines was to go to Cascia and visit the shrine of St. Rita, the patron saint of the impossible.
I decided to go by bus, which was a 3-hour trip from Rome. The bus station is a couple of blocks away from the Roma Tiburtina Railway station. It was a weekday so the bus left Rome at 7:30 AM, stopped in Terni at 9:05 AM and arrived in Cascia at 10:30 AM.
A few weeks before I left for Italy, I e-mailed the sanctuary in English asking for information. The response was in Italian and contained the schedule of masses and the tour of the monastery.
The bus ride to Cascia was scenic, passing through high mountains and along a pristine stream that is still very clear, seemingly untouched by man and modern civilization.
The basilica, with its impressive architecture, is situated on top of a hill. You reach it through narrow roads that seemed like a maze. There were signs showing the way but I found it more easily because I met a nun who was coming out of the Santa Maria della Plebe church. This is the church where St. Rita was baptized. When I asked her if that church is the sanctuary she told me to follow her as she was going there too.
A group of tourists, mostly Italians, were there checking out the church. Inside is the preserved body of St. Rita in a silver and cut glass coffin. I attended the mass at noon and afterwards I told the lady in the information center that I wanted to watch the monastery tour video in English. We transferred to a viewing room just across the reception office. It has a big screen where the video can be viewed in several languages.
It was the 1st of December when I went to Cascia and for some reason the restaurants were all closed at the time. So I had a couple of pizza slices for lunch at one of the small diner-type places along the main road to the sanctuary.
I lingered on for the 2:00 PM monastery tour, checking out and buying a couple of items at a souvenir shop and taking photos of the area to pass the time. The other tourists were gone and I was the only one left, so I was not sure whether there would still be a tour. I was very glad when an Augustinian friar showed up and gave me the tour, albeit in Italian. Having seen the tour video in English and knowing a little bit of Italian, I understood when he mentioned the miracles and the stigmata, i.e., St. Rita’s wound on her forehead. The tour lasted for 15 minutes so I had ample time to head down to the bus station, which was just a short distance from the shrine.
The bus left Cascia at 3:30 PM and arrived in Rome at 6:30 PM. I did not find the bus ride long and tedious. Perhaps because visiting St. Rita’s shrine turned out to be an uplifting and holy experience for me.

An unforgettable visit! Do not miss it!
Here is how to reach Cascia from Rome:
Wherever you are in Rome, take the metro to Tiburtina station. Arriving there, go up to the street level and cross the roads to reach Tiburtina Bus Station. Only one bus leaves Tiburtina to Cascia at 7:30am on daily bases. I advise you to go early, reserve your ticket, and wait for the bus while having your coffee at the bus station coffee shop. The same bus returns to Rome at 3:00pm in summer time (from April to October), and at 4:00pm in winter time (from November to March). Bus round ticket is for 14€ per person.
It takes almost 3 hours to arrive there. The trip was so easy and smooth, with nice scenery. The bus stops once in Terni for around. For elderly people or family with kids, we recommend staying in Cascia for one night.
The Monastery and Basilica are located at the top of the hill in the village. When the bus drops you off, follow the signs, and take the electrical escalator to reach up there. Check the below official link in order to see the mass schedule in the Basilica where St. Rita is resting in Peace, and the proper timing for visiting the monastery where you can see the vinery, the ever booming roses, the miraculous Cross and the first tomb of St. Rita. http://www.santaritadacascia.org/stay/soggiorno-luoghi-orari.php
In your way back it’s easier to take the normal stairs and discover the surroundings. By the way, the souvenirs you buy (including water) are not sacred, you can go to the Basilica, access the Sacrestia and the priest will bless the items. The nearby restaurants are clean and serve delicious food. For Couples or young people, we recommend spending the day in Cascia then sleeping in Assisi.
That was an unforgettable day! A modest village where God revealed His miracles. Every believer should visit.

As soon as we booked our vacation to Italy, going to the Basilica of St. Rita of Cascia was a definite plan on my "to do" list. I was not disappointed.
It takes time and patience to get to the shrine if you are relying on public transportation, as we did. We took a train from Rome to Spoleto, then connected on a bus which transported us to Cascia. This is a 3 hour trip, so be sure to plan ahead if you are going to visit.
The shrine is located at the very top of a mountain. Once the bus drops you off, you can either take a shuttle or walk up the winding road to the top, where the shrine is located. As it was raining quite heavily on the day we visited, we took the shuttle.
This was an amazing experience for us. I can't explain it - but there is a sense of tranquility and peace that you feel as you step on the grounds. Inside the church, the incorrupt body of St. Rita is on display in a glass tomb. The nuns who care for the saint leave several different prayer cards featuring St. Rita out for those who visit and would like to pray to the saint. They also disburse blessed rose petals that were grown from the stick that St. Rita planted when she was a sister at the shrine. There is no charge for the cards or rose petals, but you always have the option of leaving a cash donation at a drop box in the church located near where the cards are placed.
The church itself contains beautiful artwork on the walls and ceilings, many of St. Rita. It was absolutely gorgeous.
After we left the church, we shopped at the shrine's gift shop which sells many hundreds of souvenirs of St. Rita. Many, I have never seen before. If you plan on shopping here, be sure to bring cash, as they do not accept credit cards.
My only regret is that we didn't stay long enough because we had to catch the bus back to town. (There is only one bus that leaves in the afternoon. If you miss it, plan on staying the night.) The next time I visit Italy, I will plan to stay in Cascia for a couple of days in order to spend more time at the shrine and see everything I missed.
If you are a Catholic, or fond of St. Rita, be sure to include this in your travel plans when visiting Italy. There is nothing quite like this. I can't wait to return there on my next visit to Italy.

We went there in September 2016. we were obliged to sleep in Cascia beacuse we didn't know that no bus to go back to Rome that date. suddenly, we met a great old man who possesses a small Hotel directly in fron of the church where the body of my beloved Saint Rita is . He's name is Fransisco . He helped us in everything ! he guided us in Cascia and in Roccaporena, her village. We went to the mountain at night where Saint Rita used to pray . We were only two persons in a place where nobody was there at night. but Saint Rita were with us . we prayed for two hours . and Franssisco, this man sent by Saint Rita, picked us from Rocca Porena by his car and take us to the hotel. the second day we assited to the Holy Mess in Casica . and he took us to Rocca Porena Again to see her House. than he took us by his car also to Saint Veronica Guiliany, The Majesty of Holiness. We have never met this man before. without his help and his care we could be lost ! I will go back again to see you Rita .... I asked her to save my father I aksed Saint Veronica also. And they did it ! when I came back to Lebanon, my country, the medical reports were very good and he did a high progress after a disappointment ! Oh God Thank you !

Santa Rita Da Cascia is the Saint of Impossible things and is the Saint that I have always prayed for. She has always helped me and never let me down. It was my dream to visit her, but it was really difficult for me financially. However, believe it or not, I prayed and I asked her to give me the chance to see her soon and that's what happened!
I traveled with my husband to Rome and from there we took a bus from Tiburtini station. It was a 3 hour ride. The ticket cost 14 euro back and forth. The journey starts at 7:30. The ride was difficult; taking long time to reach and hopping up and down in the bus! The bus stops for a break at a small coffee shop half way. When we arrived to Cascia, there were a florist shop so we bought beautiful red flowers as a gift for the Saint. We took the electric escalators to reach the convent. We reached quickly and directly found Saint Rita in the church laying peacefully and it was very impressing and touching for me. Meeting her was a dream coming true. I gave my red flowers to a nun who placed them below the Saint's body and she offered us flower petals and gave us the chance to kiss the cane of St. Rita. Later, we moved to visit the convent, we asked for sacred oil and dried vine leaves. The nun gave us the stuff with a big smile and she asked if we were lebanese. She said she guessed that from our accent. Then, we saw another nun later and she also asked whether we were Lebanese! We were really happy to hear that! The people who speak Arabic and are christians aren't many in the East!
We made a tour in the place and we had a look at the village from above. An awesome beauuutiful place; the best scenery I have ever seen in my life! We went down to leave on foot. We bought souvenirs from the shops (very fair prices) which close around 2. And we tried to find a good restaurant, but unfortunately there is no wide variety. We left in the bus at 3:30.
It is important to note that you should wear appropriate clothes to enter the church (no shorts or short skirts or no sleeve shirts).
I recommend visiting this unique place, which I was dreaming of visiting if I had one day left to live. If you are a believer go to Cascia!

I went in August 2012 with my wife and son. Its such an amazing experience to see the body of Saint Rita, the basilica, and the monetary.
You can also walk in the town of Cascia and see all the small restaurants and the souvenir shops.
Just make sure to know the hours of the monastery. Its usually a self guided tour every 2 hours.
And to top things, you can go to rocaporena where Saint Rita used to live.
Rocaporena is a 10 minute drive in car. You can actualy see and go in her house and the best part is a very high mountain where the Saint used to go up and pray.
you can go up to that mountain and visit a small church on top.
The church is built around a rock where she used to pray. People usually throw flowers and prayers on it.
I recommend the trip to everyone. Such a wonderful experience.

We just returned from visiting St Rita's Basilica. The simplest way to get there from Rome is to take the bus to Cascia from Tiburtina Station ( payed 28 euros for two round trip). The bus was ok, not super comfortable because the road, freeway, was in bad condition and it made the ride bumpy. Be prepared for a stop on the way in Noscia where you change buses. Be prepared the stop does not have any personnel to answer questions and the drivers do not speak English. If you do not speak Italian keep telling the driver " to Santa Rita, Cascia" the total trip was three hours. There is a bus that departs at 7:30am and the return one was at 3:30pm out of Cascia. My husband has mobility issues so he never made it to the Basilica which is on top of a hill, such a shame go all that way and not being able to see St Rita's body. They do have some escalators( you really have to " look" for them, the signage was very poor) but they do not go all the way to the top. There is a 20 minute or so tour of a small part of the Monastery, commentary was only in Italian, do take it you can see St Rita's wedding ring, her crown and the place where her body was originally placed. For those of us devoted to Santa Rita the trip was totally worth it. Hope this review was helpful.

I have visited this holly place with my wife Rita. we know a lot about Saint Rita's life and miracles and we pray here prayers frequently. but being there is something else....you feel the greatness of humbleness and faith...closer to God. Cascia is a small village in a very nice area in Italy and it is almost far from everything. beautiful mountains and valleys. the basilica and the old Monastery are adjacent and located at the top of this hill. expect a lot of walking upwards. there are electrical escalators that makes it much easier to go up... which I suggest that you use it when going up but don't use it in your way down (unless you have personal reasons) in order to enjoy the place and pass through the village and experience the genuine experience, mingle with the villagers and shop souvenirs and buy local food from those beautiful humble small shops.
we visited on a Sunday and were lucky to enjoy some kind of parade done my the youth of the village with drums and other instruments walking behind a big nice picture for Virgin as a tradition of glorifying the Virgin.
you have to check the site to make sure you are there on time for the Monastery tour (it is free) that is done several times a day as per schedule (in Italian). the Basilica is huge and open all day where you can see Saint Rita kept there. don't miss to visit the Basilica inferiori that I s located below the new basilica where you can find another nun Maria Teresa Fasce kept there (looks as if sleeping same like saint Rita). to the left of the entrance to this church there is a small room where you can find the Eucharist, the place is so calm not crowded and perfect for prayer and meditation and opening your heart to God.
Saint Rita visit is a great spiritual experience that one can have... I have visited lots of shrines and holy places in various parts of the world, the only place, in my opinion, one can have a similar experience is Saint Charbel's Hermitage in Annaya Village in Lebanon.

This is a MUST to do for people planning to travel to Italy and Rome. We were not disappointed. It takes time and patience to get to the shrine if you are relying on public transportation, as we did. We would recommend staying in Cascia for at least 1 night or even the surrounds for 2-3 nights in order to spend more time at the shrine.
For the travel we took a train from Rome to Spoleto, then connected on a bus which transported us to Cascia. This is a 3 hour trip, so be sure to plan ahead if you are going to visit. You can take tours, but just the trip alone was worth seeing and relaxing during the journey.
The shrine is located at the very top of a mountain. Once the bus drops you off, you can either take a shuttle or walk up the winding road to the top, where the shrine is located (~30 min walk). We would recommend the shuttle, maybe the walk back down is recommended. We would recommend to bring some water.

The church itself contains beautiful artwork on the walls and ceilings, many of St. Rita. It was absolutely amazing and very difficult to put into words in this review.

I am Brazilian and devote of Santa Rita since all my life.
This year, during my vacation in Italy I had the blessed opportunity to visit Santa Rita's cathedral.
It's quite hard to reach traveling from Rome by bus, but it's totally possible to visit in one day.
I stood in front of Santa Rita's body for almost one hour just saying thanks for the opportunity to be there and thank her for my life.
i do recommend for those who are devotes of Santa Rita"s to visit her Cathedral and the wonderful small but beautiful and pleasant city of Cascia.

I'm from srilanka how can I get a miraculous grape leaf from the vine of St Rita
Thankyou

I believe that is not possible to collect leaves (or one leaf) from the grape of St. Rita...by the way you can pray inside the Monaster or inside the churh. Or, in alternative, you can buy some objects devoted to St. Rita...
