Welcome
Welcome to Saint Catherine of Alexandria Parish
As part of the Catholic Church, our parish endeavors to be the Lord’s own house for all who seek comfort, encouragement, peace, guidance and love. Here all can worship together. Each person is unique, and we believe that our differences enrich the community.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12).
We welcome you as members of our community. We encourage all who are already a part of our parish to continue to walk together in the service of others. No matter where you are on this journey – whether you have just heard the Lord’s call for the first time or if you have been away for some time, or if you have a thirst of God and desire to know more about your faith – you are indeed welcome at Saint Catherine.
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life, for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us - what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete (1 John 1:1-4).

Weekly Reflection
From the Desk of Msgr. Francisco Rios, Parochial Vicar.....
Long time ago, when I was assigned parochial vicar at St. Leo the Great parish I met Irv Minahan. He was the sacristan and the altar server’s trainer. He would tell them that being late was a habit they should conquer; also that cleanliness is close to godliness so the servers always should be neat and clean. Anyways Irv told me once that he was a good friend of Fr. Mc Nally and one day Irv was so proud of himself because he was doing so well so he asked father “How am I doing? “ expecting pad on the back you are doing well, good job and so on. The answer from father was “there is much room for improvement Irv, much room for improvement”
The young rich man asked Jesus what must he do to enter eternal life.
Jesus answered: to keep the commandments, which the young man had kept. But he wanted something more. So Jesus looked at him and loved him; He challenged him. Go sell all you have, give it to the poor, you will have a treasure in heaven and come follow me. Are we called to just keep the commandments or are we called to do something more, to follow him more closely? What is God calling us to do?
We hear many times: I am a good person, I don’t kill, I don’t steal, and I don’t do bad things. Does that mean we are good? Or means we are not bad? To be a good person we have to do good things.
There is always much room for improvement!
