FROM THE PASTOR
Welcome to Saint Cecilia Website! Here you can catch a glimpse of our wonderful parish community which celebrates and shares its faith in our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Let me tell you just a little of what you will find on our website. I invite you to click onto our “staff page” so that you can see the dedicated people who join with me in providing pastoral care and leadership in our parish and school. These collaborators of mine will be happy to speak with you and assist you.
Our worship and sacramental life is our most cherished activity. In our liturgical gatherings we praise God for the gift of his Only Begotten Son, Our Savior, Jesus Christ and seek union with him in the sacred mysteries we celebrate. We offer a variety of mass times to celebrate the Lord’s Day and to pray each day.
We understand that our faith formation is a life-long process and therefore provide religious education opportunities for both children and adults. Please be sure to check out our program and know that you are welcome to join with us as we deepen our knowledge and share our faith in Christ the Savior.
There is much more to find here so I invite you to check the other tabs so that you may have a better vision of Saint Cecilia Parish, this community is rich in faith and good works. I pray that you may be called to join us by the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead.
“Grace to you and peace from God our father."
Fr. Sigmund Peplowski (Fr. Zig)

June 8I am so grateful to all those who volunteered their time and labor last Saturday morning in “tidying up” our parish property. Please know that your pastor appreciates your hard work which was done on a very hot morning. Special thanks to Jim Clancy who organized this event. God bless you all! – Father ZigRead More

May 19After consultation with the diocese and my advisors I would like to inform you of the following items. A limited amount of PEW SONG BOOKS will be returned to the pews. I am trying a one volume book which contains Mass parts, Scripture readings and hymns. This text will be in use until November 27th. (I would be interested in hearing your comments regarding the one book as compared to the two books which we have had in the past.) COMMUNION ON THE TONGUE which is the traditional way of receiving the Holy Eucharist will resume on Corpus Christi, Sunday-June 6th. I ask that those who would like to receive the Blessed Sacrament in this manner approach only the priest (not an extraordinary minister) and to do so as the last on the Communion line. MASSES IN HAYES HALL will continue only until the end of the month of May. Beginning June 6th all Masses will be celebrated in the church with an increase of worshippers as allowed by protocols. LIVE-STREAMING OF SUNDAY MASS will continue only until the end of the month of May. Beginning June 6th all live-streaming will end as a result of low viewership. All of these are welcome signs that we are gradually returning to normal in church. I look forward to the lifting of even more restrictions within the coming weeks. Let us continue to pray that the Lord will bring an end to the pandemic and heal those still suffering from it. – FATHER ZIGRead More
