The first St. Cecilia Parish picnic was held October 29, 1904. Currently, the yearly picnic is held the 2nd Sunday of July. The picnic is the major money fundraiser for the St. Cecilia Parish. The funds are used towards the church and its preservation.
The picnic is a gathering time for family and friends of the Parish and its community. Many former Parishioners and relations of the Meta area return to the picnic each year to see and visit family and friends, as well as show support towards the St. Cecilia Parish.
If you would like to volunteer your time with the St. Cecilia Parish Picnic, we have multiple days of preparation and services for the yearly event.

Monday after: Clean-up of grounds and hall
