Italian Christmas Eve Mass
St. Rocco Church

Father James Mayer of St. Rocco Parish at 3205 Fulton Rd. in Cleveland will celebrate Christmas Eve with a bi-lingual mass at 4 p.m. If you have not had the chance to experience Mass in Italian with Fr.

The church is also hosting its annual Giving Tree. Please bring all unwrapped gifts for the needy to the parish by Dec. 15. The church is asking for donations such as pajamas for children ages 7-14, hats, socks, gloves, board games, books, adult toiletries, and grocery/drug store gift cards.

The decorating will take place during the week of Dec. 9 through the 13 starting at 6:30 p.m., directly following the 6 p.m. Mass. They would love to have anyone just show up ready to work with Christmas spirit!
