Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. We will have Palms distributed and a Palm Procession at all Masses. As we enter Holy Week, we can spend some extra time together in prayer and reflection with God who loves us. Be sure to check the Holy Week schedule, located on page 3.

Additional opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation are listed on the Holy Week schedule. 



A reminder that Good Friday is a day of Fasting and Abstinence.

Holy Saturday Easter Vigil Mass will be held at Christ The King Church at 7pm. (No 4pm Mass)

May God bless you!

Fr. Gonyo

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.
