Mission Statement

St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Parish exists to form and send forth a community of disciples of Jesus Christ who witness by joyfully living the Gospel. 

Our Unifying Vision:

Where we are going, as a parish, through 2021:

"Centered on Christ,
Ablaze with Love"

Pope Francis urges us to seek a “friendship with Jesus Christ.”  In her writing, St. Catherine of Siena challenges us to “be who God created you to be and you will set the world on fire.”  With the wisdom of Pope Francis and our patroness St. Catherine, we will indeed deepen our relationship with Jesus and become who we are intended to be as a community of Disciples.

Our Priorities:

What we will be addressing and developing over the next 24 – 36 months:
