Parish marks milestone with a special Mass

CASSELLA - The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has survived much in its 175 years - including a fire, a structural collapse and a cholera plague that ravaged nearby villages.
The small parish of about 110 families will honor the parish's 175th anniversary with a celebratory Mass at 2 p.m. Sept. 11 at the church, led by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr. [
