Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena Church! St. Catherine’s has been the spiritual home for the Mountain Lakes, Boonton Township, Boonton, Denville, Parsippany,and Rockaway communities and beyond since 1957. Generations of families have worshipped and continue to worship here. It is the place where we grow together spiritually, in service, and socially. We encounter the living God in the person of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We experience the Lord sacramentally and in the lives of one another. St. Catherine’s is a place of welcome in which hospitality is offered to all, whether you are a first-time visitor or as a member of our community. We welcome all of you who seek the Lord. We are blessed by your presence. We span different generations, but all seeking to build an experience of Church that is genuinely welcoming, mission oriented, and Christ-centered. Whatever brings you to St. Catherine’s, please know that you are always welcome. May the Lord give you his peace!

The Franciscan Mystery Players need you - The Franciscan Mystery Players are recruiting student performers (grades 8-12) to participate in their Lenten presentation "The Way of the Cross" which will be performed at approximately 10 churches throughout Northern New Jersey.

It is an excellent way to grow closer to God while having fun with a great group of teens! No experience is necessary.

FLOCKNOTE - As part of opening up the lines of communication in the parish, you are invited to subscribe to a service called FLOCKNOTE…like sending “notes” to the “flock.” It is totally free for you to use and it is going to make it easy for you to stay plugged in to the activities of the parish via text message. It is something that people of all ages can use as long as you have a cell phone with texting abilities. Please know that your information is completely safe and secure.
FLOCKNOTE is very simple. Text the letters SienaML to the 5-digit phone number 84576. Make sure your autocorrect on your phone does not mistakenly change the text. Once you send that in, FLOCKNOTE will send you back a confirmation message and a verification code with a link to enter the code. That’s it! You can also subscribe online by visiting flocknote.com/SienaML. Follow the instructions to register.
Loaves and Fishes - Loaves and Fishes is a group of Caring Cooks who are ready to provide a warm meal to an individual or a family on a short term basis for a variety of reasons - a death in the family, someone in the hospital or seriously ill at home, a family adjusting to a new baby. Please call Katherine Di Ricco at 973-263-2158 if you would like to be a part of this rewarding ministry, or if our cooks can serve you or someone you know.
Moms and Tots - The Moms & Tots playgroup meets every Tuesday beginning September 17 from 9:30 - 11:00 in the parish center gym. All are welcome to join us for free play, a snack and craft each week. All we ask is that you bring a small monetary ($1) or canned good donation for the Fr. English Food Pantry. Please contact Lauren Ficara 201-213-2723 or Lauren.m.ficara@gmail.com with any questions. We look forward to seeing all of our friends! -
