Lorenzo’s yes to God’s calling to serve His people. As he begins this new journey with our parish family, we welcome Fr. Lorenzo with open hearts and loving prayers. As a parish family we look forward to walking together in faith, growing closer to Christ, and sharing in the blessings and challenges of our parish community. Thank you, Fr. Lorenzo, and welcome!

Saint Catherine, Pray for Us.
Glorious St. Catherine, virgin and martyr, with all riches at your fingertips you chose virtue—you chose knowing Christ Jesus. Pray for us, that we may choose Jesus as you chose Him, that we may have strength and courage in fighting off the temptations of the world and evil desires. O St. Catherine, through your glorious martyrdom for the love of Christ, pray for us to be loyal to our faith and our God as long as we live. Amen.
