Recent Happenings

Golf Tournament - The 27th annual St. Cecilia 9-Hole Golf Tournament and BBQ was held on Sunday, August 15 at McKay Creek Golf Course in Hillsboro.  We had 49 golfers participate in this years event, which was sponsored by the Men's Club.  It was one of the hottest days of the summer, but everyone had a real good time. 

Parish Picnic - The annual Parish Picnic was held on July 18.  It was a lot of fun, and the weather was perfect!  We offered more food lines than last year, which made serving much more efficient.  We ran out of desserts again this year, but the Knights of Columbus made up for it by serving about 500 snow cones!  Damon Gentry and John Crocker did an awesome job, and Sister Catherine kept the crew organized.  If you have any pictures of this event that can be posted on this website, please contact John Meek at the email address listed at the bottom of this page.

Celebration - Fr. Pat McNamee celebrated 40 years of Ordination as a priest with a reception in the Activity Center on June 19.  Special guests include Monsignor Dennis O'Donovan, Vicar General of the Portland Archdiocese, and Fr. James Mayo, Pastor of St. Michael Church.  A video reflecting on Fr. Pat's many years of service can be seen here.  This was followed by a Mass of Thanksgiving and Reception at the church of his ordination to the priesthood (All Saints Church in Portland) on August 15.
