This is very helpful. I am picking St. Cecilia for my confirmation name.
Hi! I'm an 8th grade student currently going through Confirmation. I chose saint Cecilia as my saint and this site has helped me so much. It was truly the reason I chose St. Cecilia. Thanks so much!
i love the story of her..indeed i`m glad we got the same name..pray for st.Cecilia
I still don't know anything that I was looking for. Did she have siblings? When was she canonized? Birthday? Death date? Maybe no ones knows.
Any bio on a Saint's life should not leave you with a feeling of doubt. I didn't appreciate this one for the beginning section. It downplays the historical value, and emphasizes superstition.

Absolutely glorious! I am preparing to sing with others for a Memorial Mass to be held for St. Cecilia on November 21 in Dallas, TX at Cathedral Guadalupe and now it will be so much more than I imagined after reading this story of her on this site. I love it!!
