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. -
Daily Mass Will Start at 8:30am

Over the Sacred Triduum and Easter season so far our Mass attendance and services on Good Friday were well attended and I wanted to thank everyone who participated. As you can well imagine, Easter along with Christmastime and Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Ash Wednesday are the biggest gatherings the Church sees over the course of the liturgical year. This is important for many reasons not the least of which is that people remain connected to their faith to and their God as they express it by the public practice of their faithRead More -

The past year has been a very challenging time for all and crowds-for good reasons, have limited our opportunities to celebrate the Mass together in person and to receive the vital Sacrament of the Eucharist.

HOLY THURSDAY—At the Last Supper, Jesus gave us the words and rituals of the Eucharist, saying, “Do this in memory of me.” The Eucharist is center stage during the Holy Thursday liturgy, situated between the rituals of washing of one another’s feet and adoring the Blessed Sacrament. As Catholics we attend Holy Thursday liturgy not only because Jesus asked us to remember Him in the Eucharist, but because Communion means “we do not come to Christ alone but with and through one another.” PLEASE CLICK TO READ MORE!!Read More -

What is the Triduum? Definition: The Easter Triduum (sometimes also referred to as the Paschal Triduum) is the proper name for the liturgical season that concludes Lent and introduces us to the joy of the Easter season. Starting with the Mass of the Lord's Supper on the evening of Holy Thursday, continuing through the Good Friday service and Holy Saturday, and concluding with vespers (evening prayer) on Easter Sunday, the Easter Triduum marks the most significant events of Holy Week, which includes Palm Sunday (also known as Passiontide).Read More
