Acts of Service
Over the years, Leo, along with his late wife,Marlene, served as stewards on countless projects at St.
Cecilia Cathedral, for both the parish and the school. The contributions of the Wilwerding family to St.
Cecilia are countless… as well as priceless! The Wilwerding family have been directly involved in a
plethora of volunteer projects for St.Cecilia. Their broad spectrum of service ranges from the many
physical and restorative projects that involved painting, sanding, varnishing, insulating, welding, digging
and building, to their presence and service as school board members, Cathedralfest captains, funeral
lunch committee members, the list goes on and on. Sharing their talents and time with the St. Cecilia
community was a way of life for Marlene and Leo. They lead by example, instilling these values in their
children and children's-children which is evident in their stewardship today.
Acts of Love
Not only have there been countless acts of service by the Wilwerding family to St. Cecilia but the manner in
which these acts of service were carried out truly demonstrates the self-less giving to St. Cecilia - their acts
of Love. The personal dedication to each of these acts of service, the sacrifice of time, and their belief that
only the best is good enough for St. Cecilia is evident time after time.
The Wilwerding Children: A strong presence at St. Cecilia
For the last 60 years, there has been a Wilwerding attending St. Cecilia school almost every year. As a
matter of fact, there are currently eight Wilwerding’s attending St. Cecilia Cathedral Grade School
consisting of the following seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
As you can see, the Wilwerding family brings three generations of service to the school and the parish. We
are delighted to honor and recognize their commitment to all things Cathedral.
Thank you Wilwerding Family!
