St. Rita's Senior Citizen Center will host a celebration for 200 people who worked together to tell the history of South Philadelphia. The book title is: Struttin' Through Time - South Philly Style: Stories and Memories of South Philadelphia. St. Rita's Senior Center and St. Maria Goretti High School, both part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, joined this effort, along with other schools, cultural and historical institutions.

As part of this project, school students interviewed senior residents from South Philadelphia, wrote biographies of seniors and researched community archives. The book also includes historical essays, one of which was written by Sister Rosalima Balutowska, CSFN, a volunteer at St. Rita's Center. This project began in 1995 as part of the Intergenerational Program at the Institute for Global Education and Service Learning (IGESL).
