- St. Katharine of Siena

Message from Pastor

Dear Parishioners,

This website is part of the story of St. Katharine of Siena Parish. In providing information about the liturgical, spiritual, educational, service and social activities that help give our parish its life, it presents only a partial picture.

The larger picture, the fuller story, rests in our relationship with God and one another, and in everything that is held in our hearts: our faith, hope and love, our joys and sorrows, our search for peace and our desire for the fullness of life. What is written in this website is intended to offer every parishioner opportunities for prayer, worship and service, and to offer strength as the story of our parish life continues to unfold.

It is my hope that all of our parishioners, longtime members and newcomers alike, will be well served by what is contained in this website, and that everyone will find something that will help meet their spiritual needs. I also hope that everyone will recognize that the vital signs of a parish can never be found in a website but will always be discovered in its people. The more we know one another, the better we can love and serve one another, and the good God in heaven in whose image we are created.

May you and yours have God's blessings in abundance.

Msgr. John A. Close
