St Patrick's Akron and St Catherine Westfield Parish History
The Akron St Patrick’s parish grew from an 1883 first Mass in a home to a formal parish by 1899 with a church, school and rectory built by 1900. Westfield’s St Catherine chapel followed in 1903 with a separate parish potential, a cemetery, and later a new Akron church in 1974. The parishes have hosted nine pastors, Catholic Ladies groups, and a CCD program now serving 362 Akron and 120 Westfield members.
