Church of Santa Rita of Cascia, Advocate of the Impossible

There are places that come to you without you even looking for them, and they come for good—to bring us a little peace and relief for the soul. That's what happened to me with the place I'm bringing you today. Many times I had seen it from a car, but yesterday I had to run an errand very close by and didn't hesitate to go in. I'm talking about a church—the Church of Santa Rita of Cascia. It's not one of those enormous colonial cathedrals that leave you speechless the moment you see them, but it has its charm. It's located at Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, right in the heart of Miramar, one of the most luxurious and upscale neighborhoods in the Cuban capital.
