Rita, 81, a graduate of St. John\u2019s Seminary in Brighton and a retired priest of the Diocese of Fall River, passed away suddenly on Thursday, March 5, at Charlton Memorial Hospital. For the last twelve months of his life Father Rita resided at Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that, he spent his retirement years living at the Cardinal Medeiros Residence for Retired Priests. Father Rita is survived by his niece and nephew, Beth (of Live Oak, Florida) and Matt (of Charlestown, Massachusetts), along with Matt\u2019s wife, Jackie, who became like a niece to him over the years. He is also survived by eight grand-nephews and -nieces, all of whom received baptism and other sacraments by his hands or in his presence: John (and his wife, Kaila), Anna, and Rob Macomber; and Niamh, Maddie (and her husband, Rasmi), Yoyo, Evelyn, and Carmen Rita. His great-grand-nephew, Roy Macomber, was \u2013 and now always will be \u2013 the last member of the family to be baptized by \u201cUncle Tommy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A native of New Bedford, Father Rita was the third of four sons born to the late Louis and Veronica (Earley) Rita. After graduating from Holy Family High School, he entered St. Mary\u2019s Seminary in Kentucky. He later returned here to the Commonwealth to complete his formation at St. John\u2019s Seminary. Father Rita was ordained to the priesthood on May 1, 1970 by Bishop James Connolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his two older brothers, Jimmy and Jake, his younger brother, Larry, and his sister-in-law, Terry Rita. At the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of Father Rita\u2019s ordination, his brother Jake \u2013 who affectionately called him \u201cthe Rev\u201d \u2013 remarked: \u201cFrom his earliest days in childhood, he wanted to serve the Lord as a priest. There was never any question about it. He knew what he wanted, pursued it, and . . . never looked back.\u201d That commitment to his vocation remained undiminished through Father Rita\u2019s Golden Jubilee, even as the 2020 pandemic prevented his many well-wishers from celebrating with him in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During more than four decades of parish ministry, Father Rita\u2019s assignments spanned the Fall River Diocese \u2013 from the Rhode Island border in Bristol County to the west, to the Lower Cape in Barnstable County to the east. The parishes in which he served included St. Mary\u2019s in Mansfield, St. Anthony\u2019s in East Falmouth, St. Mary\u2019s in South Dartmouth, St. Mary\u2019s in Taunton, Our Lady of the Assumption in Osterville, Holy Trinity in West Harwich, St. Mark\u2019s in Attleboro Falls, and St. Mary\u2019s in Seekonk (twice). When the latter parish joined with nearby St. Stephen\u2019s in 2010, Father Rita became the founding pastor of the new Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Parish. He also served as the director of St. Vincent\u2019s Home in Fall River and a judge for the Diocesan Tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, Father Rita earned a well-deserved reputation as a priest who left parishes better than he found them. This was evident in the various renovation and construction projects he oversaw at the churches entrusted to him. But such improvements were never undertaken merely to suit Father Rita\u2019s tastes \u2013 refined though they were. Rather, he viewed the enhancement of physical places of worship as a means of drawing his parishioners closer to God. Perhaps the most palpable example of this can be seen in the Our Lady of Life Adoration Chapel in West Harwich, which then-Bishop Se\u00e1n O\u2019Malley dedicated in 2002 during Father Rita\u2019s pastorate at Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By far, however, the most enduring legacy of his priesthood will be the countless lives he touched and the lasting relationships he leaves behind. As his health challenges mounted over the past several years, many of the people Father Rita once served (or served with) supported him through their constant visits, phone calls, cards, and prayers. Because those cherished friends are too numerous to name here, his grateful family would simply say to all of them: \u201cYou know who you are.\u201d And the same is true of the long list of staff members, caregivers, and providers \u2013 at Cardinal Medeiros, Catholic Memorial, and elsewhere \u2013 who did their best to bring Father Rita comfort during the closing chapter of his life\u2019s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family and friends are invited to attend the visitation on Thursday, March 12, between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. (with a prayer service to be held at 6:30 p.m.) at <a href=\"https:\/\/sjnfreetown.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. John Neumann Church<\/a>, 157 Middleboro Road, in East Freetown.
