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 Sunday’s readings prepare us to reflect on Christ’s identity and our own identity as a Catholic as well as on our faith in general and the cost of being a follower (disciple) of Christ in the world around us. Each reading this weekend is replete with symbolism, especially the Gospel, which should help us to dig deeper into the meaning—the why behind the thou shalt nots of our faith.Read More -

Our gospel this Sunday is rich in Catholic tradition illustrated by a man who is deaf and mute, who comes to Jesus by the faith of others, and then there is the resulting praise of others. These are all important faith-filled issues to considerRead More
