2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal:
Sharing His Love with Others
Over the next couple of weekends, you will be hearing about the 2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal.
With a goal of $4,936,548, the 2026 Appeal will provide critical funding to many diverse and impactful ministries that affect the lives of thousands of people in our Diocese. In early February, many of you will receive a letter from Bishop Knestout asking for your support of the 2026 Appeal. It is our sincere hope that you will answer our Bishop’s request and make a generous commitment to this effort. Our goal this year at St. Catherine's is $8,450.00. We will receive 50% back to our parish.

“Those who trust in the Lord are like a tree planted beside the water…
In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still produces fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:8

Dear St. Catherine of Siena Parishioners,

May the peace of Christ be with you and your loved ones!

Preparations being put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community present us with both challenges and opportunities. The priority of St. Catherine’s is to care for our families and minister to them in every way we can.

As you know, the Diocese of Richmond has suspended all public Masses until further notice. Bishop Knestout will be updating us regularly. You can check the diocesan website for these updates at https://richmonddiocese.org/coronavirus/.

Through all of this, St. Catherine’s will remain a community of faith that trusts in the Lord and shares His blessings with each other. We are moving forward with new ways to minister to our parish families, including:

1. Utilizing our parish’s email and facebook: Please visit us there for the latest parish news, photos and other resources we are providing.

We are committed to making the most of this time and help draw families closer to Christ. In times of crisis, people look to Christ and his Church. St. Catherine’s will be here to serve.

There are two things that I’m asking you to do right now, today:

1. Pray. Remember God does not abandon his children. Please join me in praying for the following:
• All the sick and suffering around the world, and families affected by the coronavirus
• Those who are struggling financially because of this crisis
• First responders, medical personnel and all government leaders
• Our parish, your pastor, parochial vicar, bishop and the Holy Father in Rome

2. Continue to support our parish. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the continued financial stewardship of parishioners and friends during this difficult time. With public Masses suspended, I am asking every family to mail in their weekly donations or drop them off at the church (if you come by the church after office hours you may drop them in the locked mailbox)

God bless you for your generosity!

I will continue to provide updates, primarily through our parish email and facebook.

Please know that you are in my prayers. Have faith! Let us rally together behind what is most important in our lives – God, family, and our St. Catherine’s community.

In Christ,
Fr. Ongen
Pastor

Family that prays together, stays together, whether near or far apart!

When we are confronted with a serious need or problem, like the Coronavirus, we usually pray in one way. But there are many complexities to problems—and they are usually bound up with the free will of human beings, which God will not force. Here are some suggestions on how to pray with greater spe...
