Welcome to St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish! It is my privilege to serve you as pastor of the parish and to welcome you to participate in the life of the parish through the sacraments, prayer, religious education, works of charity, and spiritual and social events.
It is my hope that participating in the life of St. Kateri Parish will foster the call to holiness that is given to us by God. We are often led to think that holiness is a goal reserved for a few elect. St Paul, instead, speaks of God’s great plan and says: “even as God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him” (Ephesians 1:4). He was speaking about all of us. We are united with Christ that we live in holiness of life, and we are united with Christ through baptism and the sacraments, especially the Eucharist.
Please join us for the celebration of the sacraments, especially Holy Mass on Sundays to grow in your relationship with Jesus, and to join your fellow parishioners on the path to holiness. Please visit our website, call us, and stop in to find out how to participate in the life of the parish, and to be united in charity to our brothers and sisters.
New parishioners are always welcome. New Parishioner Registration forms are available at the parish office or on this website.
In Christ,
Fr. Joseph M. McLafferty
Pastor
