Fratelli’s and St. Cecilia are joining to create six wonderful days of lunch and dinner experiences to benefit the church. Fratelli’s will donate a percentage of their sales to the church on October 9th through October 17th for lunch or dinner, we are closed on Sundays and Saturdays for lunch. This will take place for only these 9 days. As parishioners of the church, you just need to come to Fratelli’s on those dates and enjoy a great dining experience with us. We have made many changes at Fratelli’s, and we would love for you to see what’s new and trendy. We have a brand new chef and menu, prepared in our new state of the art kitchen to tantalize your taste buds. You need simply to sign St. Cecilia on the check to take part in the donation.

The Spring Branch Food Pantry anticipates a greater need this Thanksgiving. St. Cecilia has committed to providing 800 bags of food for those in need this year. So here is how we can ALL HELP! Bags will be distributed after Masses on October 31 & November 1st with the list of foods to fill it with stapled to the bag. If you do not attend Mass yet, you can still drive by and pick up a bag or two. We will also have a PDF of the list on the Pastoral Care page if you want to print it at home and fill your bag. Filled bags can be dropped off on November 14th & 15th, at the sidewalk in front of the Community Center before or after all masses. You can drive by and drop off bags as well. On November 15th trips will be made to take the bags to the Spring Branch Food Pantry at 1:30 pm & 6:30 pm. Anyone wanting to help move bags on this day, please email cbryse@saintcecilia.org.

Please join us for a live, virtual morning of reflection on Saturday, October 24th from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm led by Lupe Arellano Schaefer During this retreat, Lupe will lead us in live reflections via Zoom. In between the presentations, you will have quiet times for creative journaling. Participants will receive their own kit of supplies, to be picked up from the parish ahead of time. Lupe Schaefer, artist and mother of five very talented young adults, who are also some astounding artists, recently began hosting and teaching a Bible Study and creative art journaling in her home. Through her unique study that combines God's Word with our own innate desire to create like Him, the Message is truly internalized and begins to bloom in our hearts. No artistic abilities needed—God will provide! The cost is $20.

The Resale Store and warehouse are very short on volunteers. Volunteers are urgently needed to sort and tag merchandise, stock shelves and racks, and assist with sales. The Resale Store was closed for many months, resulting in a serious loss of revenue to fund client programs. Now they are open and continue to see customers. As uncertain as these times are, many are having to cut costs and turn to MAM for their shopping needs. The store’s continued viability is vital to MAM’s ability to keep helping families in need. You can help! MAM is asking St. Cecilia volunteers for ONE THREE-HOUR SHIFT between now and the end of the year. MAM is following all safety protocols. Volunteers may request to limit their service to areas not frequented by the public. A signup link and calendar is provided above. Gather a few friends, pick your date and volunteer! If you have any questions, email Stephanie Tippitt at stippitt@mamhouston.org.

From your computer or smartphone - Several dates are available to choose from; English: November 4th Spanish: November 19th Questions, please contact Flavie at flavie@saintcecilia.org
