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.

The solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity in the Catholic Church is an opportunity for every Catholic practitioner to consider the profound mystery of God’s nature—and invites each of us—to deepen and expand our own relationship with God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It also enables us, with this understanding, to conform our own relationships in love, community and unity.Read More -

Street Sandwich Ministry-
Sandwich's Help Feed Children during the Summer while out of school...Please consider making sandwiches for our Street Sandwich Ministry. Families and children in Hartford that rely on in-school breakfast and lunch programs, no longer have that option available during the summer months. Instead they rely on sandwiches from local area shelters to help with meals.
Although it is summer, please continue to consider making sandwiches to help the homeless and families in shelters. It has been difficult keeping up the same level of sandwiches collected during the last couple of months.
