Welcome
Welcome to Saint Catherine of Alexandria Parish
As part of the Catholic Church, our parish endeavors to be the Lord’s own house for all who seek comfort, encouragement, peace, guidance and love. Here all can worship together. Each person is unique, and we believe that our differences enrich the community.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12).
We welcome you as members of our community. We encourage all who are already a part of our parish to continue to walk together in the service of others. No matter where you are on this journey – whether you have just heard the Lord’s call for the first time or if you have been away for some time, or if you have a thirst of God and desire to know more about your faith – you are indeed welcome at Saint Catherine.
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life, for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us - what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete (1 John 1:1-4).

Weekly Reflection
FROM THE DESK OF THE GIVING TREE COMMITTEE....
GIVING JOY AND HOPE TO THOSE IN NEED
Some who had little to begin with, worked harder every day to make it to through their tomorrow.
They struggled to meet the financial demands of day-to-day life and even questioned how they might provide food on the table, pay their utilities or pay rent many times during the year. Let alone can they afford a gift or two for their children at Christmas during these difficult times.
The parents were hard working-class people, the father worked in a cannery and mother was a waitress. Neither parent earned high wages, the father was quite often laid-off due to seasonal work. As a child you understood that financial means were not plentiful. It just was something you just knew. Your school friends had and wore different clothes than you, they took vacations you never did, and Disneyland was a place you visited in your dreams.
I believe my childhood helped form me in becoming the advocate I am today for the families we adopt. I can evangelize for the families we place on the Parish Giving Tree and feel good about the work I do for them. I can relate to the parents and the children. The parents need to ask for assistance to give their children more than they can do on their own - the child who is grateful to receive gifts like their friends.
Everyone should experience the joy of Christmas morning, having gifts under their tree. And thanks to YOU, our supporters of the Parish Giving Tree program, families and children will have gift’s under their Christmas trees once again this year.
Won’t you join us to give hope and joy to the families who need our support. Please take a star or two or adopt-a-family, your generosity will make a difference! The Giving Trees with their stars will be up next weekend (November 23/24), please take one or two stars, purchase the gift listed on the star, wrap it and please return it to the Parish Office by Friday, December 6th. Don’t have time to shop? Let us do the shopping for you – Monetary donations can be made on the parish website or at the Parish Office. If you have questions or would like to adopt a family, please contact Anna Quiñones at annaquinones@sfhs.com or Maria Dominguez at maria.dominguez@dsj.org.
Give Joy - Give Hope!
God Bless, Anna Quinones & Maria Dominguez
