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. -

Our readings for this 14th week of Ordinary Time provides us with the key themes of comfort from Isaiah, St. Paul‘s letter to the Galatians notes we bear the marks of Jesus, if we are truly His disciples, and no one shall make troubles for us; that we are we safe in the Lord. And from Luke we hear “that the Kingdom of God is at hand…” and know this: "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”Read More
