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.
If you would like to learn more about Christ, deepen your own spiritual life and pave the way for a more fulfilling spiritual journey toward God, then investigate the New England Catholic Biblical School, considered one of the best in America, fully accredited, and open to all.

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. A Eucharistic procession, therefore, is a public witness of the veneration toward the most holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. It takes place in this way: A consecrated host – that is, the real and substantial presence of Jesus Christ: body, blood, soul and divinity – is placed within a monstrance, which is then lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession
Fifth Sunday of Easter “What’s Love got to do with it?” Everything. It is the source, the summit and the font of Life in Christ. Love is the Commandment of Christ. "Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 21) God’s Divine Love created us. God’s Divine Love has redeemed us by Christ’s Blood on the Cross.
The Archbishop’s Annual Appeal (AAA) was created in 1981 with a goal of $1.6 million yet raised $2,466,310. Since 1981, the AAA has funded Catholic charities and built up the common good to the tune of more than $277,329,662. Since 2006, the Appeal has raised some $9-$10 million per year for the benefit of those in need. Take a moment and consider the noble good the Catholic Church has accomplished.
