| Communion Calls To The Sick |
Parish volunteers make visits to care
centers, the sick, and the homebound within St. Cecilia Parish, bringing them the Eucharist and
visiting with them.
Let us know if you are going to be
in the hospital for an extended period of time. Due to confidentiality, the hospitals
do not provide us with a list of our
parishioners.
Please call us if you would like to be a volunteer or to take communion to a
loved one at home.

| Grief Support
Ministry |
St. Cecilia Grief Support Ministry
provides support for those in the parish community who are grieving a loss –
whether experiencing a death, divorce, chronic or terminal illness or other
traumatic loss. This ministry facilitates an annual 8-week Grief Support
Workshop, the annual Life Decisions Conference and a Fall Speakers Series.
These programs all have, as their primary aim, to provide accurate,
important, and timely information, from the perspective of Catholic
teaching, on issues around end of life and grief and loss. Information,
coupled with practical ideas, skills and tools, can infuse our experiences
of loss with meaning. Combining the practical with the spiritual and the
theological, more fully integrates loss into our everyday lives.
This ministry also trains Grief Support Visitors to visit the bereaved and
to lead workshops and retreats. Persons interested in either grief support
or in discerning a call to be a grief support visitor should contact the
Grief Support Ministry Formation Committee. This committee meets
approximately six times per year to plan and execute the annual Grief
Support Ministry programs.

prayer and reflection, in which the intercessory group is present to
intercede for everyone's needs. This is a group for the whole
family. Childcare is available. All are welcome.

| Prayer Shawl
Ministry |
Compassion and love of knitting are
combined into a prayerful ministry which reaches out to those in need of
comfort – as well as celebration and joy. Many blessings are prayed into
every prayer shawl. The knitters of the prayer shawl knit the shawls on
their own time and at their own pace. New members are welcome from beginner
to advanced knitters. Meetings are held to share and bond as a ministry and
to share completed shawls and stories filled with graces. This group works
with Communion visitors and Grief Support Ministers to distribute their
shawls. |
