Winterfest 2025 & Mustang Grand Raffle Exceeds Goals

This weekend, Winterfest 2025 welcomed over 700 guests onto the St. Rita campus to relive college life for one night only. St. Rita parents transformed our campus into some of the iconic scenes of collegiate life, including transforming the McCarthy Center into Ole Miss’s The Grove and Mendal Hall into a classic dorm – all while screening Animal House and Revenge of the Nerds in the Dining Hall.  

This memorable evening would not be possible without the help of our St. Rita parents. They worked countless hours over the past few months planning this event and setting up the campus all in one day. A special thank you to the Ritamen who helped set up and clean up as well.

Check out pictures from the evening from around campus and in the photo booth.

At Winterfest, we announced the Mustang Grand Raffle winners! Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and took part in one of our most impactful fundraisers of the year in our efforts to narrow the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating our Ritamen. Together, we were able to surpass our goal of $150,000.

Congratulations to the winners of the Mustang Grand Raffle!
