The United States Supreme Court, that equal branch of the Federal Government to Congress and the Executive, ruled that certain closely held corporations with fundamental religious beliefs are granted religious liberty under an existing federal law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. This law, cited in the Hobby Lobby case as well as the Supreme Court?s ruling in said case, is now under attack by certain federal legislators. It is interestingly sad how so much misinformation (falsehoods) is being used in their talking points to criticize the Justices? ruling and more importantly to cloud the real issue.

While many of the activities of the parish seem to go "on hold" during the summer, much continues here as normal at Saint Catherine of Siena. Pantry Partners, Feed the Hungry Youth, and Saint Elizabeth House shelter meals continue all summer long. The parish office is open and baptisms, funerals and weddings continue; planning for next year's religious education program and next year's Youth Ministry programs are well underway. The grounds and facilities continue to need care all summer long - and the daily Mass and weekend Masses take place even while many are away for the summer. Please keep Saint Catherine of Siena in your prayers during the summer and remember to help us with your weekly offerings even if you are away...we want to be fully up and running for you next September. Thank you!
