Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena, a Roman Catholic Church, located in Wichita, KS. We hope that our website provides you with the information you need to nurture and support your faith here in the parish and beyond.  

If you are new to the parish, we extend a special welcome to you and pray that you will find a warm home here. If you would like to register, you may come in to the parish office between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, or you will find the information for us to contact you by clicking HERE.
 
We invite all our parishioners to join fully in our life at St. Catherine of Siena. We serve the community through worship, outreach, education, social activities, sacramental preparation, and comfort to the sick and those who mourn. Feel free to contact us if we may be of service to you in any way!

Please prayerfully consider how you can help our parish and community in the coming year.  We believe that you have the perfect mix of talent and ability to carry out the mission our Lord created you to live.  Let us help you find where your gifts fit our needs!  Forms can be returned in the collection basket, dropped off at the parish office or even filled out online by clicking HERE!

Please join us on Thanksgiving Day for a Patriotic Rosary at 8:30 AM, followed by Mass at 9:00 AM.  The parish office will be closed Thursday and Friday of this week.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas," or, at least that's the assumption based on that familiar holiday song. But what does that look like at your house? Most of us anticipate the great sales at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving, string lights on the outside of our house, and decorating the inside of our homes. But how exactly are we preparing our hearts for the greatest gift we've ever been given? Through an exploration of the mystery of the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and the events surrounding the arrival of Jesus, this Advent study offers an opportunity to experience the joy of the true meaning of Christmas. Check out these four episodes at https://formed.org/ today!

Children, especially, dream about the wonderful things they hope to find under the tree on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, many children in Wichita won't even have a Christmas tree, much less any presents to open. That's where The Salvation Army and St. Anthony Family Shelter come in!

Through the Angel Tree program, gifts are provided to children and families in need who would otherwise be left out on Christmas. There is a Christmas tree set up in the church gathering space, with angels and ornaments for you to pick up and purchase a gift item for someone in need. Please prayerfully consider if you can help make someone's Christmas a little brighter by donating a gift through the Angel Tree project!

In response to Covid-19, and because we are trying to add some options with caution wherever possible, you can also select an Angel VIRTUALLY this year. If you do not wish to gather around the Christmas Tree, or are not able to come to the church to select an Angel from the tree, you can go online to https://saintcatherine.theangelgivingtree.org/ and select an Angel to buy for. The process is VERY simple and is a wonderful option for some of our parishioners.

All UNWRAPPED Angel gifts for the Salvation Army need to be delivered to the church gathering space on or before Thursday, December 3rd. Any gifts not delivered by December 3rd will need to be delivered to the Salvation Army office downtown.

All ORNAMENTS for the St. Anthony Family Shelter need to be delivered to the church gathering space by Sunday, December 13th.
