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. -

n the Gospel of Luke, the Annunciation (1:26-38), we hear the angel Gabriel sent from God proclaim to Mary, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” In this brief yet powerful proclamation we see the Old Testament and the New Testament “hinged” together—the New Testament does not replace the Old but rather it is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. We see in this gospel the desire of all people to seek God and the desire of God to be with His people, come to be in one, singular person: Mary.Read More
