EDIT - not long after we visited this church (March 25, 2013, to be exact) it burned down, the result of arson. A new church will be rebuilt, but we're not sure whether it will be at the same location.

Update: From several new articles, it seems that St. Rita's Catholic Church is being rebuilt at the same location.

This painting of St. Rita’s was done in 2011 by Tea Preville, a Nelson resident whose body of work has become quite large. She is an artist of eclectic output and eclectic media, this one an oil on canvas, from her online gallery of churches in Castlegar, Robson, Brilliant & area.
