WISCONSIN DELLS — As one enters the city of Wisconsin Dells, the population sign says 2,418. That’s the number of people who live year-round in this popular vacation destination.
However, that number often swells throughout the year. Wisconsin Dells, known as the “water park capital of the world,” welcomed over three million visitors in 2009.
Many of those visitors attend Mass at St. Cecilia Parish. The tourists keep St. Cecilia Parish very, very busy, especially during the peak vacation time from May to September. “We are an international parish,” said Msgr. Felix Oehrlein, the pastor. “It’s a tremendous joy to celebrate liturgy with people from literally throughout the world.”
