Habemus Papam! Pope Leo XIV
St. Catherine’s rejoices in the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV!
Let us pray:
O God, who, in your providential design
willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter,
whom you sent over the other Apostles,
look with favor, we pray, on Leo our Pope
and grant that he, whom you have made Peter’s successor,
may be for your people of visible source and foundation
of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever. Amen.
Everyone is Welcome
Children's Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word
Our 9am Sunday Mass focuses on helping our youngest parishioners develop a love for & understanding of Christ, His Word, & the Mass. Children ages 5-10 join friends in the Church Hall following the opening prayers. They work with a catechist to understand the readings at an age-appropriate level. This is a formal worship experience adapted to make it relevant to the lives and experiences of children. Children return to Mass for the Consecration.

Support our Seminarians
A Message from our Bishop:
A Blessing and a Challenge
Our diocese is witnessing an extraordinary blessing—a remarkable surge in vocations. Over the past decade, our number of seminarians has more than doubled! After six priests ordained in 2023, we are thrilled to welcome 11 new seminarians this year, bringing our total to 33.
This blessing, however, comes with a challenge. Each seminarian’s education costs more than $60,000 per year, and we anticipate total formation costs will rise to $3 million per year within five years. Bishop Caggiano has announced a special campaign to fund these rising costs. Will you give to support our future priests?
