Mass Time Sunday 10:00am Reconciliation by appointment only: 518-623-3021 Flower Beds
Our flower beds have had new top soil and mulch applied and weeds removed, unfortunately due to the rain the weeds are now abound. It’s up to us to keep the beds weeded. Our landscaper opens and closes them, feel free to stop by and do some weeding. Also the rose garden beside the garage needs to have tiger lilies pulled out, this will be an ongoing process. We would appreciate your volunteering.

"Persevere in labors that lead to salvation. Always be busy in spiritual actions. In this way, no matter how often the enemy of our souls approaches, no matter how many times he may try to come near us, he'll find our hearts closed and armed against him." — St Cyprian

God Bless, Danielle! From arranging coffee hours to funeral receptions; to advising on the Parish Council and keeping our prayer chain up to date, not much is accomplished without her caring touch. And when SHE needs help – her husband Dana, daughter Denise and grandsons; Shane, Nick and Jack are on the job! Danielle and Dana are long time parishioners bringing their children and grandchildren up through St. C’s. Thank you to all of the Robichauds for caring so much about St. Cecilia’s. We love you! |

St. Cecilia's loves Bob Joy! His name says it all - JOY!! This is how he performs all of the tasks around our beautiful church - with joy! Every week, Bob removes all of our recycles and garbage from the back garage and takes them to the local dump and makes sure the bookkeeper knows when new dump tickets are needed! Summertime finds him spiffing up the grounds as he weed whacks around all of our edges and under our shrubs.

Communion at Mass runs smoothly with the dedicated experience of this month's volunteer! Phyllis Torok, shown with her nephew Travis and dog Piper, has been offering Communion during our Masses for many years. We can always rely on her to jump in and help out if a replacement is needed as well as her regular scheduled days. After Mass, she quietly and respectfully removes all of the Sacred Vessels, washes them carefully and stores them for the next week. And, if you ever wondered who keeps our corporals and purificators sparkling white and sharply pressed - well that would be Phyllis! A quiet presence, we thank Phyllis for her dedication and work for St. Cecilia's. Tell her "thank you" when you see her. THANK YOU, PHYLLIS! ST. C'S LOVES YOU!
