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. -

What a timely question for today’s secular culture and for our Church. This weekend’s readings speak to the interrelationship between morality and truth and our lived lives—as well as the building block of Truth and its inherent limitations. If something is an absolute truth, it is by its definition, limited in scope. A truth cannot be multiple things or be comprised of different hues of truth. Specifically, let us look to the second reading from the Letter of James where we hear that “All good living and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change.” -

For those present in Church last weekend when I read a letter from Archbishop Blair and preached on the topic of sexual abuse and the Church, I wish to briefly address again the issue on everyone’s mind: this scandal in the Church. As a priest, this is very embarrassing and very sad. It is beyond my comprehension that anyone—clergy or lay person—could look at a child and see anything other than a child of God, innocent and precious
