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. -

This effort should not be mistaken for the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, which is used to maintain the day-to-day operations of the Archdiocese. -

Today the Catholic Church—like all faith institutions—lives in a very different and ever-changing American culture. Gone are the days when Sunday Masses were not just packed but was the priority of the day—over sports, work and other scheduled items—for everyone.

To make this point, just think of a time you were at the DMV and couldn’t figure out the correct line to stand in all day…or maybe traveling in a foreign airport where you didn’t speak the language and the signs were “as clear as mud.” That feeling of not-knowing is unsettling to say the least. Today’s gospel is another example of the importance of understanding signs—CLICK TO READ MORE!
