Judy Gariepy who has been our parish bookkeeper/secretary for the past seventeen years has decided she would like to re re and enjoy more me with her husband Steve. She has been an outstanding parish family staff member, professional, proficient, dedicated and compassionate. We will truly miss her but, we do wish her well on her new journey. Therefore we will be looking to fill her posi on.
All applicants must have the ability to mul task, have good communica ons skills and knowledge of QuickBooks, Excel and MS Word. Experience in church environment is appreciated. This is a full me posi on at 32 to 40 hours per week with benefits. All applicants must apply via email at [email protected] and include a current resume. We are looking to start training as soon as July 7th.
Since the pandemic we are growing accustom to doing things a little differently. Instead of a cluster of area parishes joining together to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation with our young adults, we were able to have a more intimate celebration last weekend. Congratulations to our candidates: Lauryn Duvarney, Timothy Levesque, Mercyline Muma, Trina Rice, Alexandra Snioch, Gianna Valeri and Brodie Vowles. May the gifts of the Holy Spirit help you to be disciples with Jesus in your communities (church, family, friends, etc.) and in your choices in life.
Thanks to all who contributed in making it a special day for them to remember!

Memo from First Concern PRC We are extending the duration of the Virtual Baby Bottle Drive. Have you contributed to First Concern’s Baby Bottle Drive in the past? The spare change collected from all of those who took a baby bottle added up fast and your support helped the Center raise over $25,000 last year. This year, due to the disruption in masses, the Center is asking that all who would like to participate give online or mail a donation directly to the Center. Please consider filling a “virtual baby bottle” as you would have a plastic bottle by making a gift of any size. About $30 buys a box of diapers, $80 covers a month of Earn While You Learn Education, and $100 can help out towards a client’s first month of services. There are three ways in which you can give. You can continue to fill the baby bottle, you can make a donation by visiting www.firstconcern.org and click on the “Virtual Baby Bottle Drive” tab or you can also mail in a donation to: 46 High Street, Clinton, MA 01510. Please be sure to indicate the donation is for the Baby Bottle Drive. We hope to make this year’s drive successful and surpass what we raised last year. Thank you in advance for your encouragement and support! With you, for LIFE -- First Concern Staff & Board of Directors
2020 Partners in Charity….Envision Faith in Action! What an inspiration it is for all of us to know that when we support the Annual Partners in Charity Appeal we generate joy in the lives of those served by our many agencies and ministries. And you, in turn, share in the joy of bringing hope into the lives of those we serve. Thank you to those who made a gift and a special thank you for those who gave for the first time. Your gift will help us in reaching our parish goal. To date we have raised $25,526. However, we need the support of all members of St. Cecilia Parish if we are to be successful in reaching our parish goal of $50,000. If you have not yet made a gift or pledge text giving is hands down the easiest and most secure way to give. If you know how to send a text message, you can make a gift to Partners in Charity in seconds on your phone. Best yet, our parish St. Cecilia will receive credit! Text the word donate to 84576. In addition to giving you can also view the 2020 appeal video. You can also make your gift by filling out a commitment pledge envelope which you can pickup on the table by the church entrance or visit partners-charity.net. Thank you for your continued support!
