Welcome! Whether you are just curious about Christianity and the Catholic faith, a Catholic new to the area, or a new parishioner, we’re so glad you’ve decided to visit our website. If you haven’t yet done so, please come by the parish office, say hi to our pastor, Reverend Raphael Munday Kukana, and the office staff. We would love to meet you and have a chat!
Here at St Catherine of Genoa we seek to follow Jesus Christ and to invite others to do the same, to live by the virtue of hope found in the Gospel words of Jesus, and to live by faith based principles rooted in the New Testament. If you are considering becoming Catholic, please inquire about our process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) which will guide you to “consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion” (RCIA 1).
We hope that you will find that this parish community is one you can call home.
