I think there is a St. Rita's currently in that area. I wonder when that started.

I just checked out the website for Three Holy Women parish. St Rita's opened in 1933 for Italian's. Holy Rosary Church opened in 1885 for no particular ethnic group, but eventually became primarily Irish. It is located at 2011 N Oakland. So, this may be my church!.
