Traditional Masses have been celebrated here since well before 2011 when a magnificent solemn High Mass took place. St. Cecilia’s now has a regularly scheduled Traditional Mass at 7:00 PM on Sundays.

St. Cecilia is a typical grandly dimensioned old Brooklyn church. Since 2011 it has been a member of mutli-church cluster called “Divine Mercy parish.” Real estate devlopment has so far bypassed this church and the many buildings connected with the former parish of St. Cecilia.
