History

The Augustinian order, which for centuries had officiated the church of Sant'Agostino in Benevento, was suppressed in Campania in 1860.

With the support of the Archbishop Monsignor Carlo Minchiatti, they decided to form a new parish in the neighborhood of Pace Vecchia, with the aim of forming a sanctuary dedicated to Santa Rita. In 1996, they contracted with IACP, to build the present modern church, the architect was Benedetto Aloia. The church was consecrated in 2003.
