Mission Statement

Our Vision Friends and neighbors joyfully sharing and living the Gospel and the transforming love of Jesus Christ through our Parish Family



Our Mission To invite and welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life to embrace and celebrate our vocations.  "To be Christ to the world.”

And now, bless the God of all,

   who has done wondrous things on earth;

Who fosters people’s growth from their mother’s womb,

   and fashions them according to his will!

May he grant you joy of heart

   and may peace abide among you;

May his goodness toward us endure in Israel

   to deliver us in our days.

Lord, we thank you

For the splendor of creation,

For the wonder of life,

And for the mystery of love.

We thank you

For the blessing of family and friends.

We thank you

For setting us to tasks which demand our best efforts,

And for leading us to accomplishments, which satisfy and delight us.

We thank you

For the health and strength to work and play.

To give our time, talents, and possessions

For the benefit of others.

And us to your service.

Make us

Ever mindful of the needs of others.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

During the upcoming holiday season, gift card scams will be on the rise.

No member of the Saint Kateri Staff or Clergy will email or text you to purchase a gift card and send us the card number!

If you get such a call, text, or email it is a scam.

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

OCIA is a process of spiritual formation which prepares adults for full initiation into the faith.

At Saint Kateri Parish, we meet as a small group to explore and discuss the foundations of our Catholic faith and help each other to grow in our relationship with the Lord.

OCIA is for:

• Anyone who is curious about the Catholic Church
• Anyone who is interested in becoming Catholic
• Adult Catholics who have not completed the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation).

Parishioners are welcome to join any of our sessions.
