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. -

August 19
"Foreigners, foreigners, foreigners!" In today’s three readings we hear, in various situations, of foreigners—you know—those people who are "from away," as Mainers would say—and who now want to be with "us." Why should we accept them into our community? Why don’t they build their own parish? Today’s readings are meant to remind us that with the Lord Jesus Christ we are all called to be One. God sees us as His adopted daughters and son, not distinguished by station in life, color of skin or any other variable -
August 12
As we journey in faith this Sunday, the readings give us an opportunity to review—and perhaps extend— what kind of disciples we are. Are we comfortable disciples doing the "ordinary" things of faith, or are we risk takers who are willing, as Pope Francis asks us, to go to the peripheries and bring the Good News of the Gospel to someone who does not know or has not heard of Jesus’ love for them? -

Go! Light Your Candle...but first acquaint yourself with the lyrics and our baptismal call and what lies ahead if we say “Yes.” (Click the link for the lyrics to "Go Light Your World") -
August 6
The Liturgy dictates that when the Transfiguration of the Lord falls on a Sunday in August we hear, once more, the exact same Gospel reading we heard last Lent on the second Sunday of that Season (Gospel of Matthew). Rather than just reprint what I wrote that Sunday, we are called--as Scripture scholars tell us--to focus on a different part of the reading. Rather than concern ourselves with the more Lenten understanding of being more penitential, as the season of Lent would highlight, we need to listen to Peter’s words more closely.
