Recent Happenings

Crab Feed - The 11th Annual Parish Crab Feed was held on January 19. Over 300 parishioners enjoyed 1100 pounds of crab, 40 gallons of clam chowder, 95 pounds of roasted potatoes, 100 pounds of salad and coleslaw, and 36 loaves of French bread, washed down with two kegs of beer and lots of wine. This event raised about $4000, which was used to finish retiring the debt for new Activity Center Kitchen! Special thanks for this wonderful evening go to the Men’s Club, who prepared the dinner, to the Knights of Columbus, who set up for the event and took care of the bar, and to Bill Johnson, who coordinated the entire event. Photos of the event can be seen here.

Giving Tree - The generosity of St. Cecilia Parishioners was a sight to behold as the gifts from the Giving Tree were brought to the Parish Center. The smiles on the faces of those bringing the beautifully wrapped gifts expressed their love for over 1,000 neighbors in need in our community. Many Thanks to all who volunteered and contributed to St. Cecilia 2012 Giving Tree!
