Expecting a new baby?

All registered parishioners at Saint Catherine of Siena are invited to receive a pre-natal blessing from our priests. The blessing given at 6:00 PM on the first Monday of every month unless it is a legal holiday in which it is transfered to the following Monday. At this special blessing, a white rose is given to you to place in a vase by the statue of Mary that represents your baby. As a parish family, we will pray for your child throughout your pregnancy until their baptism. The white rose, symbolizing new life in Christ, will be returned to you on the day of their baptism.

Following the blessing there is a mandatory Baptismal Preparation class that all first time parents must attend to help you prepare for the most important day in your child's life!
