St. Cecilia is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, located in DeMotte, a small community in Jasper County, Indiana. The parish is dedicated to Saint Cecilia, the early Christian martyr and patroness of musicians, whose feast is celebrated by the universal Church on November 22.

Founded in 1952, St. Cecilia has served Catholic families in the DeMotte area for over seven decades, providing sacramental life and community ministry within the diocese established to serve north-central Indiana.

The parish continues to operate as a diocesan territorial parish, welcoming residents of DeMotte and the surrounding Jasper County countryside to regular worship and community life.

History

According to diocesan records, St. Cecilia Parish was established in 1952 to serve the growing Catholic population of DeMotte and the surrounding Jasper County area.[1] The parish falls under the pastoral care of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, which oversees Catholic communities across a broad swath of north-central Indiana.

Specific details regarding the parish's founding pastor, original building campaign, and subsequent expansions are not fully documented in publicly available sources. As with many mid-twentieth-century rural Indiana parishes, St. Cecilia likely grew alongside the town of DeMotte itself, adapting its facilities to meet the needs of an evolving congregation over the decades since its founding.
