Due to COVID-19, our Children’s Faith Formation, Youth Faith Formation, and Adult Faith Formation staff are furloughed through August 22, 2020. Staff for these groups will be unable to answer phone calls or emails until their return. If you have any emergency concerns, please contact our Front Office at FrontDesk@stcatherinesiena.org or 327-5165.  We will update you as we know more information about upcoming programs and return dates. The pandemic has created a difficult time for many. Please continue to pray for our staff and our priests.

We asked our Children’s Faith Formation (CFF) children to create artwork to donate to nursing homes locally to help brighten a community member’s days. We are thrilled to report we met our goal of 300 pieces of artwork. We will share these masterpieces at Brookdale Assisted Living and Centre Meadows Senior Apartments. Parish children from ages 1-10 participated with some writing page-long letters to seniors! The artwork and positive messages were outstanding. Thank you to all who helped with this CFF service project. We appreciate all you do to help us spread the love of Jesus! To see more examples of the artwork received, please click on the article title to see the Photo Album on the Children's Faith Formation page.

We need your help! Please join our Children's Faith Formation (CFF) students and families in a new service project to create homemade artwork to send to the residents of local nursing homes. Please watch CFF Director Karen Galloway's video announcement on our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/CFFServiceProject for complete details about the project. We hope this artwork will bring some colorful "cheer" during this time of quarantine. Artwork may be dropped off at the church anytime between Sunday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 17th. Look for a box labeled "Children's Faith Formation" in the vestibule, between the two sets of main church building doors. The outside doors are open all the time, so you can drop your donations off whenever it is convenient! Karen will pick up the donations regularly and deliver the art to the nursing homes. Thank you in advance for helping to share the love of Jesus with others during this challenging time!

Attention kindergarten parents! Just a reminder, our St. Catherine’s Sacramental preparation program is a two-year program. Children must be registered full time in a first-grade Children's Faith Formation class if you plan on a First Communion for the spring of your child’s second-grade year. Look for an upcoming email with details. For questions or concerns, please contact Karen Galloway at 327-0861 or kgalloway@stcatherinesiena.org.
