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. -

Rather, it is meant to open one up to come closer to God via faith in the Church: her sacramental life, theology and the lived-experience of being Catholic in the community.Read More -

In the Catholic tradition our eternal hope is to join the Communion of Saints. Our Christian goal is to align our individual wills to the Will of God—and seek the gift of eternal life. Clearly we do not “earn” or “merit” eternal life for it is a gift given freely by God—because of His unfathomable love for each of us. Our role it to make life decisions that lead us to accomplishing God’s Will by way of our words and deedsRead More
