St. Catherine of Siena Parish

Vision Statement

We are a vibrant Catholic community where all are welcomed, challenged, and supported on their life journeys.

Mission Statement

The mission of St. Catherine of Siena parish is to inspire, engage, and nurture our community through worship, witness, and service.

Worship
We worship with one another through prayer, small faith communities, the celebration of the Eucharist, and the other sacraments. In communion with the universal Catholic Church, we strive to pass on our spiritual traditions from one generation to the next. We seek fellowship with all members of the parish community, our sister parish, and all of God’s children, especially those in other parishes and faith communities in our region.

Witness
Nourished by the Eucharist and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we deepen our relationship with God by learning, teaching, and giving witness to the love and word of God. We critically examine our faith's response to living in a contemporary world.

Service
By expressions of our faith through time, talent and treasure we reach out to those in spiritual, emotional and physical need. We join in unity as a parish community and with our brothers and sisters throughout the world working to meet these needs.

Parish Organization

St Catherine's is a parish of the Diocese of Rochester.  Our bishop is Matthew H. Clark.  We operate under a strategic plan approved by the Pastoral Council in 2007 after a long data gathering and recommendation process.

The pastor presides over two councils: Pastoral Council & Finance Council. The Pastoral Council consists of members of the parish who assist the pastor in making decisions about the overall direction of parish life, and the progress of the pastoral plan. Members serve a three-year term.  The Finance Council oversees the financial matters of the parish, and the overall well-being and solvency of our community.  The council consists of members with varied backgrounds in business and professional fields.
