Our great nation is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. What better way to begin our July 4th celebrations than by praying a Rosary? Join us at Nativity of the Lord Jesus Parish in a Patriotic Rosary on July 1 at 5:30 p.m. immediately after our 4:30 p.m. Mass. This rosary will lift each state and our government leaders to God for guidance. You are invited to actively participate by leading one of the Hail Marys if you wish. Nativity of the Lord Jesus Catholic Church is in Springfield township at 2425 Myersville Rd. Akron.
