Faith and Education

Thinking about becoming Catholic?  check out RCIA

The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the series of learning sessions and celebrations by which adults learn and experience the Roman Catholic church in order to become a member, or, to refresh knowledge of the faith. Times together are scheduled once a week from fall until Easter. Fr. Mark, our pastor, and the RCIA team offer various presentations.

Want to volunteer with children?  A Safe Environment class is needed

Safe Environment classes are required for those who volunteer with any children or vulnerable adults. They are offered periodically in our parish. To join a class, go to the Virtus website  and look for St. Cecilia.  Classes are also offered in other parishes and the Chancery (next door to the Cathedral in Seattle)

Youth Ministry

The High School Youth Group (Youthies) and Confirmation Class is held on Sunday evenings from 5-7 p.m.  Meetings will be held in the St. Monica Room in the Faith Center.  All high school students are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

Youth ministry at St. Cecilia strives to enrich the faith of high school students by incorporating prayer, instruction, fun, and a sense of service through both discussion time and activities. Youth coming for Confirmation should be at least 16 years old.
