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 fourth Sunday of Easter, Jesus the Christ presents Himself as the Good Shepherd who enters the sheepfold not by force but by the gate, and calls His sheep—hopefully us—by name. We must then ask ourselves: what good reasons am I giving the Christ to ‘know’ my name? As Roman Catholics celebrating the Easter season, we focus on the Resurrection of Christ and the role we are called to play in living out our faith, so that if ‘we are ever accused of being called a Catholic in a court of law,’ which will happen on Judgment Day, there might just be enough evidence to convict usRead More
