| 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.

| Neighborhood Groups |
We have formed Neighborhood Communities
within our parish in order to help us build fellowship. We based
these areas on the public elementary schools within our parish boundary.
All parishioners who live outside these 16 areas will also be placed into
areas. Everyone will receive a letter from the parish notifying you
of your neighborhood community and listing the other families in your
area. Some of our neighborhoods are already gathering together.
Sample community activities include neighborhood home Masses with our
Priests, bringing Communion to the sick, welcoming Newcomers, community
gatherings (pot-luck dinners, etc.), reaching out to families in times of
sadness and loss, and serving the Parish as a community (Mass Greeters,
hosting Coffee & Donuts, etc.).
