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)

December 15The 12:15 p.m. Sunday Mass at our parish cemetery has been very popular with an average attendance at 150 people. The weather has gotten colder but parishioners are still attending. One parishioner told me, “Father, if we can sit outside in a stadium to watch a football game- we can sit at the cemetery for the Holy Mass which lasts 3o minutes!” THEREFORE, I will try to continue the 12:15 Sunday Mass at the cemetery IF …there is no snow on the ground AND IF the temperature is not below freezing! I know that many parishioners appreciate being outdoors and I will try to do all that I can to make this happen, God willing! FLOCKNOTE is the communication I will use to inform you of the Sunday Mass at the cemetery! SIGN UP FOR FLOCKNOTE by going to the parish website for a text or email, it’s easy! Of course, the 12:15 Mass will be celebrated in the church when not at the cemetery. - Father ZigRead More
