Parish Statement
We, the people of God called to be the Catholic Community of St. Cecilia, are a diverse and multi-cultural
community of believers, joined together by a common bond of love for our Lord Jesus Christ while preserving
the uniqueness and traditions of our ethnicity. With a united spirit, we strive to serve our Lord, His
Church, and our community through prayer, worship, ministry and evangelization, and to share our faith
and our talents in service to one another.
We are not powerless in
the face of this threat. We
have the power of prayer
and we have an all
powerful God who could
end this crisis whenever
He wills. If you are
feeling overwhelmed or tormented by fear, pour out
your heart to our loving savior Jesus Christ. He is the
divine mercy of God. The prayer of faith strengthens
us and gives us the confidence to face each day with
joy and hope. May God and our Blessed mother
intercede for you and your families.
Fr. John

ST. CECILIA’S GOT “FORMED”
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.
(Jeremiah 1:5)
God is a potter who wants to form out of
the clay of our lives something beautiful.
Formed.org is not just a website to teach
us intellectual ideas or Catholic doctrine,
but an instrument God wants to use to
form us into the persons we were meant to be. I’m
excited about this organization that we have contracted
with to be available to our parish providing parish good
solid catholic formation.
I hope you will take the time to look at it.

32º DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM
A liturgia do 32º Domingo do Tempo Comum
convida-nos à vigilância. Recorda-nos que a segunda
vinda do Senhor Jesus está no horizonte final da história
humana; devemos, portanto, caminhar pela vida sempre
atentos ao Senhor que vem e com o coração preparado
para o acolher. Na segunda leitura, Paulo garante aos
cristãos de Tessalónica que Cristo virá de novo para
concluir a história humana e para inaugurar a realidade do
mundo definitivo; todo aquele que tiver aderido a Jesus e
se tiver identificado com Ele irá ao encontro do Senhor e
permanecerá com Ele para sempre. O Evangelho
lembra-nos que “estar preparado” para acolher o Senhor
que vem significa viver dia a dia na fidelidade aos
ensinamentos de Jesus e comprometidos com os valores
do Reino. Com o exemplo das cinco jovens “insensatas”
que não levaram azeite suficiente para manter as suas
lâmpadas acesas enquanto esperavam a chegada do noivo,
avisa-nos que só os valores do Evangelho nos asseguram
a participação no banquete do Reino. A primeira leitura
apresenta-nos a “sabedoria”, dom gratuito e incondicional
de Deus para o homem. É um caso paradigmático da
forma como Deus se preocupa com a felicidade do
homem e põe à disposição dos seus filhos a fonte de onde
jorra a vida definitiva. Ao homem resta estar atento,
vigilante e disponível para acolher, em cada instante, a
vida e a salvação que Deus lhe oferece.
