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. -

We know that these missionary disciples will keep Saint Catherine of Siena parish in their prayers, too.Read More -

Q. The Missal for the Mass uses the word “epiclesis” when the priest extends his hands over the bread and wine at the Consecration, what does it mean and why is it used? Q. How and why did the kiss of peace or shaking hands, at Mass originate? Do you think our Lord shook hands with His apostles when He said, “My peace I leave with you, my peace I give you? How can this practice be avoided by those who find it obnoxious?Read More
