Dear Parishioners and Friends,

To our combined choir, musicians and volunteers, thank you for the exceptional welcome extended to Bishop John S. Bonnici and his Priest Secretary, Fr. Aaron Kelly, who came to the 4pm Mass followed by a wonderful reception in the Parish Center on April 18th. 

A nice picture is included inside this bulletin. 

Before the 4pm Mass with the Bishop began, I was able to announce that our Catholic Ministries Appeal goal for Saint Kateri Parish has been reached! To everyone who donated in helping us meet our CMA goal, please know that I am ever so grateful and that you have made a difference. Thank you!

Our finance council will now focus on catching up on our past significant winter bills and other building repairs.

Lots of events are happening in our parish community. 

This Thursday at 7pm, Saint Kateri candidates will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at Sacred Heart Cathedral with our new Bishop and then on the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd, thirty-five children will be receiving First Holy Communion.  

Please keep our Confirmation and First Communion candidates in your prayers as we thank God for their presence, and blessing for their families and our Parish.

Check this bulletin for other upcoming events and be sure to join us after the 11am Mass on Sunday, May 3rd for a Parish Coffee Hour. 

May God bless you!  

Fr. Gonyo

OCIA is for:

• Anyone who is curious about the Catholic Church
