Here are some pictures of the progress on our beautiful window. As you can
see it is a long way up there. Freebird Glass then took the panes to
their shop and re-leaded the entire window. They will return and install it
the week of August 30th or Sept 7th.
As we enter the new millennium, we, the members of
St. Cecilia Catholic Community, are called to share our
Catholic tradition and to continue Christ's mission in
living and spreading the Word of God. We are a diverse
community, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of
Houston, Texas, our home. Bound by the knowledge that
Jesus Christ, with His love of all, is ever present in
our daily lives, we openly embrace people of all ages,
ethnic backgrounds and economic status, and seek union
with all the people of God. We are one in Jesus Christ
through our baptism and our celebration of the
Eucharist, the great sacrament of our unity. We indeed
are one family, one faith.
As members of this family, we are called to:
Proclaim and witness to the Good News of Jesus
Christ, the Gospel of Life
Celebrate the liturgy, our worship and praise of
God, through word and song
Promote unity of all peoples as we acknowledge
and embrace our diversity
Serve as a beacon of Christ's light and
compassion for those in need especially the poor and
powerless
Nurture our faith through worship, education,
fellowship and service
Educate our children in respect, responsibility
and reverence through the teachings of our Catholic
tradition
Defend the sanctity of human life and preserve
family life within society
Share our time, talent and treasure in the
support of our community and the building of God's
Kingdom here on earth, and
Work tirelessly for a just and peaceful society.
Each day of our lives, we are called to act with
justice, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with God.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we strive to make the
Kingdom of God present and real here on Earth.
