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.

Returning to Scripture, Galatians 5:22-23 says: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.” There it is. One clear difference between joy and happiness. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. Happiness is not. You can make yourself feel happy. Eat a favorite meal, complete a long-term project, take a nap on a warm summer day in a hammock. Do things like that and you will feel happy.
The New Year provides so much hope and opportunity for us: from getting in shape and changing old, bad habits into newer and better ones; it is a time for us to raise-the-bar of how we are going to live our lives anew, of being better, doing better and seeking better things for us and our families— in finding true joy.
This weekend we shall celebrate the feast of the Nativity of the Lord, Savior of the World, and we look forward to hosting you and your loved ones as we Praise God for the Christmas gift of His Son and the Salvation of the world. As we are returning to a more normal way of life after the Covid Pandemic, that now for most of us it is a flu-like illness, and for those who have underlying health issues we know that we are called to take some additional precautions
