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 FR. SERGIO OVANDO, PASTOR.......
Palm Sunday
Every year for this Sunday we come to our parish, we take our palms and we enter in procession, welcoming Jesus, who is coming to save us.
However, this year it is different, we do not come to the church, there is not procession, and there are not palms. What should we then do?
All Jerusalem was gathered to welcome Jesus into the Holy City. Now it is our opportunity to gather as a family in our homes and welcome our Lord into our lives and families.
May Jesus enter our house, may our homes be marked from this day on from the presence of the Lord.
In the church, we have signs of our faith; everything says what we believe, specially the Eucharist, which is the real presence of Jesus in our temple. In a special way in your homes, this Palm Sunday there should be something that marks either inside or outside the presence of Jesus in your homes. Sometimes it is the image of the blessed Mother, or a crucifix, etc. Whatever it should be, it should be something that remarks that today we have received Jesus into our homes and like those in the Holy City we will proclaim: “Hosanna to the son of David, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”. Blessed is he who comes into our world, into our homes, into our family, and into our lives.
In addition, when we receive Jesus on this day, it must be a welcoming reception for Him to remain among us.
Some people have asked me what we do without Palm Sunday. We take the essence of this celebration, which is to receive Jesus. We should make of this Sunday, a Sunday that will always be remembered, we should make of this day, the day that we did not go to church or procession, the day we did not have palms, but the day in which our family gathered like never as a domestic church. The day that we received Jesus and He will stay with us forever. That He will stay with us and us with Him.
Because now more than ever we realize how important our faith is.
May the Lord God reign in your homes and in your hearts.
