Father Christopher M. Walsh has been appointed as the new pastor of St. Cecilia's.
Father Chris as he prefers to be called, has been a priest since 1999. He served as Parochial Vicar at Our Lady of Ransom for five years, School Minister at Archbishop Wood High School for four years and as Pastor of St. Raymond for the past fourteen years. Over the years he has visited St. Cecilia many times and has had priest friends who served here. Each has loved our community and have told him how blessed he is to join us. His work at St. Cecilia will build on the great work of Fr. Bonner, Msgr. Dreger and all of the leaders of the parish. Father Chris is excited to bring his own love for Jesus Christ and the way to salvation he has given to the Church. Father Chris says that he has much to learn about our parish and all of the wonderful members of the community. It will take time and he will plan to use this time well – for our good and the glory of God! 
Please welcome Father Christopher M. Walsh to our parish family!
