Cecilia’s Council of Catholic Women
Welcome!
All of the registered women of St. Cecilia’s Parish belong to the
St. Cecilia’s Council of Catholic Women; however,
we invite all women to join in our activities.
Our group has no dues. We
meet quarterly-October, January, April and August/September (when a field
trip is planned with husbands/quests.)
Our goal for the year
is to have fun while focusing on our beautiful Catholic faith and service
for others...
On Thursday Oct 26th
, join us for an early afternoon social - 1:30 to 3:00. Our guest speaker
will be Cindy Ahrends--her topic will be The Divine Mercy. Refreshments will be served.
Our January gathering is still
in the planning stages, but after all the busy Christmas season, we may be
ready for some relaxing time.
RETREAT INFORMATION- Many of

Our group is divided into
Circles. The Circles are a way
to communicate the needs of the parish to its members
Most often these needs are associated with food or beautification.
Each Circle has two chairladies who communicate with the members of
the Circle. The Circles take
turns hosting functions according to the functions occurring in their
months.
In addition to serving funeral
dinners, we are involved in these activities: Cookie Carnival, Jubilee Cookbook, Altar
Decorations, Maintaining the Altar Linens and Vestments, Holy Week
Breakfast, Prison Ministries, May
Celebration---A combination of honoring Mary, the First Communicants, the
newly confirmed including RCIA members, and the Graduates.
This will be a catered meal for all the parish.
St Cecilia’s is a dynamic,
rapidly growing parish. Come
and join us in our planned activities for 2006-2007.
