Crab Feed - The 10th Annual Parish Crab Feed was held on
January 21. About 350 parishioners enjoyed 1000 pounds
of crab, 40 gallons of clam chowder, salad, coleslaw, roasted
potatoes, and bread, washed down with ten cases of wine and two kegs
of beer. This event raised about $6000, which will be used to help
pay for the completed Activity Center Kitchen. Special thanks for
this wonderful evening go to the Men’s Club, who got the crab and
prepared the dinner, to the Knights of Columbus, who take care of
the bar and other fundraising, and to Bill Johnson, who coordinated
the entire event. Photos of the event can be seen
here.
Giving Swag - On Saturday, December 15, you brought joy to the hearts of hundreds
as 75 families received food and present deliveries
from St. Cecilia’s St. Vincent de Paul and another 100 waited in a
very long line of cars to pick theirs up. The
work began in October as organizers began gathering names of those
in need, arranging for food and writing out more than 1000 tags for
the Giving Swag. St. Cecilia parishioners generously answered the
call, returning gifts, turkeys, canned food and money. Photos of volunteers sorting and sending gifts can be seen
here.
