Kwaya ya Mt. Sesilia ilianzishwa na kusimikwa rasmi mwezi August mwaka 1980 ikiwa na idadi ya wanakwaya 40 chini ya uongozi wa ndugu Melchior Haule. Kwaya ilianzishwa kuhudumia kigango cha Mavurunza ambacho kilikuwa chini ya parokia ya Msewe. Kigango cha Mavurunza hatimaye kilipandishwa hadhi ya kuwa parokia ya Bikira Maria Mkingiwa dhambi ya Asili mnamo tarehe 6Januari 2001.
