St Cecilia Catholic Church

It was my first time going to St. Cecilia’s. I couldn’t believe this church is 99 years old! They’ve definitely kept this place in good condition!
St. Cecilia’s is located in the heart of Beaverton, sorta near the Beaverton Library and Ava’s Roastaria. St. Cecilia’s church also has an elementary school. You can find parking along the street or their own parking lot.
Masses:
SAT = 5 PM
SUN = 7:30 AM, 9 AM, 10:45 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:30 PM
Sermons were short, sweet and straight to the point. The piano player and choir are quite lovely. Not too shabby to check out if you’re in the area.

The service is always great and short. The sermons are always, well sermons. Preach and pray Father. Follow and live it sister.
Now I feel like singing Ode to my Family by the Cranberries.
What else is there to say to give an non catholic an insight of what it’s like to be inside this church? Hmmm wooden benches with padded kneeling boards. Confession boxes before you enter the main church. The Altar where to wings meet and face. This is also where the Priest gives his sermon and the place where you get the host aka communion. Everyone sings, everyone prays. Everyone makes peace with each other.
Oh, the parking sucks if it’s the Christmas Eve mass. Get there early. Why? Cause I said we pray! Pray…
Ps. Please try not to fall asleep during this short Sunday sermon.

We went in for holy water to have for home. Confession was going on with a line up of people. The people were rather rude staring us down just by walking in. What is that?
Maybe the priests were nice… I would not know… nor will I because I would not want to hang out with such a congregation. If you like that sort of things? By all means.
Me? Nah, I would not go back.
