Parish Mission Statement
As the Parish of Saint Catherine of Siena we are a community of disciples of Jesus Christ. In communion with our Archbishop and the Roman Catholic Church throughout the world, we proclaim the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His Gospel.
Through our life of worship, we acknowledge our need for the love and mercy of God and we welcome all to share in them. Through our ministries and service, we seek to form our members more deeply as disciples of Jesus and to make present, in our own times, the love and peace of the dawning Kingdom of God. -

Busy at work, overwhelmed with the children, the family and everything else in the world? Finding it difficult to carve out a few minutes each week for yourself, no less to “get involved” in helping another—even though you want to and know you should? Let Saint Catherine of Siena help you with this conundrum. Again this year our parish will hold our Advent Giving Tree Ministry (AGTM) collection from December 1st to January 6, with the hope of enabling everyone in our parish to take on the persona of Christ and help someone out who is really suffering.Read More -

This weekend we hear again from the Gospel of Mark whom we have been listening to for a good part of the past year—and as we soon end this current Liturgical Year (with the coming of Advent) we will say goodbye to the Markan Gospel. Today we hear about a poor widow who put into the Temple Treasury the equivalent of about two (2) cents while other, more well-to-do members gave larger sums of money. And yet, the Lord considers the widows gift to be of greater value than “the larger sums.” Why?Read More
