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. -

September 16
Today’s Gospel speaks to us of (1) forgiveness—both towards others and ourselves, and (2) the need to be sincere when it comes to repentance. For it is in our honest repentance that we can be confident of God’s unending forgiveness. So what does it mean then to forgive not 7 times but 77times--and is it possible? From a theological perspective, we are called to offer forgiveness in the same manner that God forgives us. That is to say, to strive for the way that God acts toward us -

Today's gospel (Matthew 18:15-20) speaks to us of rules and process, of forgiveness and reconciliation, which might not seem to connect. Today's world, particularly in the United States, seems to be a very litigious society. People are ready to sue and lay fault at another, perhaps accountability and personal responsibility are a thing of the past? Laws and processes are ever-present, in both civil society and the Church. -

I extend these invitations to all parishioners and also to those who have joined us from St Bernard Church--we are happy to encourage you to share your gifts and talents here at St Catherine of Siena.
