Thursday, August 15 Mass Schedule - In English - 8:15 am (with St. Cecilia Catholic School), 12:15 pm & 5:30 pm. En español – 7:00 pm

The Saint Cecilia Choir will soon resume rehearsals and singing at the 11:00 am Sunday Mass. There is no audition to join, and previous music experience, while helpful, is not required. Participants must simply possess a reasonably good singing voice (the ability to match and maintain pitch), be open to learning proper singing technique and what it means to sing in a choir, and commit to attending as many of the rehearsals and services as you can. The Saint Cecilia Choir is for adults and young adults from high school to the "young at heart." Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:45 pm in the Church, beginning August 28. We are especially in need of more men in our choir to create a balanced choral sound.

The Formation Toward Christian Ministry (FTCM) program offers basic theology and spiritual development to Catholic adults who want to deepen their commitment to Jesus and more fully answer their baptismal call to service as a mature disciple.

St. Cecilia is offering the entire third semester (Morality, Church History 1, Church History 2, and the Day of Reflection on Missionary Spirituality) YOU MAY SIGN UP FOR ONE OR ALL COURSES
