Holy Rosary Church
Holy Rosary Church, Little Italy
(© 2006 S. Mitchell; licensed to About, Inc.)Holy Rosary Church, on Mayfield Road, is the literal and figurative heart of Cleveland's Little Italy community. The Baroque church, founded in 1892, still celebrates mass daily and offers a variety of services for parishioners and residents.
The church is also the organizer of the annual Feast of the Assumption, held each August, a popular event that successfully combines the secular with religious celebration.
Holy Rosary no longer has a grade school associated with it, but does support a Montessori school for younger students.
