Will the church be open for people to pray?
At this time, the doors for St Catherine of Siena Church are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm and Sundays 1:00pm to 5:00pm for private personal prayer. For those that do come to church, we expect for everyone to maintain the minimum 6 feet social distancing.

Will there be times when I can go to confession?
Confessions will always be available for those who need them. Please contact the Parish Office to coordinate a time.

Can I still schedule things like house blessings, car blessings, or a personal appointment with Fr. Glenn?
During this time, we have all been expected to stay at home as much as possible, and to only go out for “essential” reasons. For some of these things, it can wait until the right time. Please contact the Parish Office if you have any questions or concerns.
Also please note that with new updates and regulations from our city and state, our Diocesan policies and mandates will also change for everyone’s health and well-being.

Jesus: The Way, The Truth, The Life video presentation

Every Wednesday starting March 4 at 7pm at Parish Life Center…
Everyone is invited to view an engaging video presentation entitled: Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life starting March 4, 2020 every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in St. Catherine of Siena Parish Life Center.
Jesus is our savior, our redeemer, our Lord, and our God. Our belief in Jesus is what makes us who we are as Catholics, as Christians, but do we really know him as we should? Who is Jesus for you? Is he a part of your life, or is he at the center of your life as he should be?
This 5-week video study program is anchored in the life of Christ as presented in the Gospels. We’ll explore the entirety of Jesus’ life—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, what he did for our salvation, and what all of this means for us as Catholics today.
The study is presented by world renowned theologians and biblical scholars Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Edward Sri and was filmed in the Holy Land so you can experience the extraordinary world in which Jesus lived and taught—the historical context, the politics, the clashing cultures, the history, and the ancient land—and see where the most significant events of his life took place, from his infancy to his ascension.
We will learn how Jesus is God Incarnate, fully divine and fully human. We’ll experience his intimacy with the Father, his revelation of the Father’s love, and his gift of the Holy Spirit to each of us. Most importantly, our encounter with Christ will empower us to know and love him in a new and life-changing way.
We hope you can join us!
