Welcome

Dear Friends,
Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena Parish! It is a great joy for me to greet you in the name of our wonderful, Spirit-filled parish community.

If you are new to the area, I am glad that you found us! If you you have been away from the Catholic Church for a while, welcome home! If you have been praying with us for a while, we hope that we have welcomed you into our community and that you will register as a member and join us more fully.

We would like to be Church for you—to pray with you, grow with you, and serve with you. We think that we have much to offer, but we also know that each person who comes to St. Catherine's brings a unique set of gifts, experiences, and faithfulness, and we are grateful for all the ways that our parishioners are building up the Kingdom of God here in Ithaca and beyond.

If you have been away for a while, or are burdened with guilt from mistakes in the past, please know that we are a Church of saints and sinners and we are here to help you heal and be reaffirmed in the belief that you are God's beloved daughter or son.

I would be honored to be your pastor, and our ministry team and parishioners are excited to welcome you.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Joseph Marcoux, Pastor
