St. Cecilia Music Ministry Choir practice will begin Thursday, September 19 at 7:15pm.  ALL ARE WELCOME! Music ministry provides beauty, joy, comfort, inspiration, and musical prayer for our communal liturgies and various parish celebrations. This is possible due to the generous sharing of time and talent of diverse and committed members. If you can carry a tune and want to learn, come sing with us.

Do you have an immediate prayer need or can you offer the gift of prayer? The ‘People of Love’ Prayer Group meets every Monday evening at 7:30PM in the Cecilian Room. You are always welcome to join us and renew your Spirit.
