We, the Catholic Christian Community of Saint Catherine Laboure Parish, are a diverse people called by the Holy Spirit to live and share Christ's Gospel.

Guided by Word and worship, preparation and reception of the sacraments, teachings, traditions and prayer, we are committed to nourish the spiritual needs of others through evangelization, renewal, fellowship, education, stewardship and outreach. We challenge one another to share our gifts to serve God's people.
