We were honored to have his Archbishop Jeffrey Grob say Mass at the CEC’s Holy Family Chapel on Saturday, October 11th 2025. It was a packed house with a video broadcast into our St. Francis Hall. We were also blest to have our Chaplain Fr. John concelebrate for this historic occasion.

Following the Mass was a reception and social in St. Francis Hall and with beautiful Fall weather, many enjoyed time on our deck taking in the sights and sounds of this amazing time of year! Our executive director, Joe Meyer, took the Archbishop, the Archbishop’s mother and Fr. LoCoco on a golf cart tour of the CEC property including Clare Gardens Organic Farm…Yes, they were able to pet our holy hens, Peter and Paul the goats and Loretta (“Larry”) the pig!
