Mission Statement

Our Vision Friends and neighbors joyfully sharing and living the Gospel and the transforming love of Jesus Christ through our Parish Family



Our Mission To invite and welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life to embrace and celebrate our vocations.  "To be Christ to the world.”

I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses,

in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.

Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults,

hardships, persecutions, and constraints,

for the sake of Christ;

for when I am weak, then I am strong.

 ~2 Corinthians 12

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

On Sunday, July 14th, the feast day of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, we will host a Eucharistic Procession after the 11am Mass.

This procession will be led by the choir, altar servers, Knights of Columbus, and parishioners around the perimeter of the Christ the King Campus (rain or shine) then end back in church and conclude with prayers of Benediction.

We will have a reception in our Parish Center afterwards with lots of food to celebrate the 15 years of the founding of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Parish.

Bring the family!

May God bless you!

 Fr. Gonyo

Dear Parishioners,

Saint Kateri Parish, in conjunction with the Diocese of Rochester, must complete a Parish-wide census over the course of the summer.

At this point, we are gathering up-to-date contact information for all registered and unregistered Catholics of our Parish.

If you have recently moved, changed your e-mail address or changed your phone number, please notify the Parish Office as soon as possible.

You may also contact the Parish Office if you would like to receive offertory envelopes or would like to switch from offertory envelopes to Automatic Contributions (ACH).

The National Eucharistic Revival

“Until you know deep inside that Jesus thirsts for you – you can’t begin to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants you to be for Him.”

SAINT KATERI TEKAKWITHA

On July 14th, we celebrate the feast of the "Lily of the Mohawks." St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American woman to be canonized. Orphaned by a smallpox outbreak, Kateri survived with severe scarring and impaired eyesight.

Despite tragedy, she was a devout girl at a young age, often building crosses from sticks in the woods. When she was 18, she began secret instruction in the Catholic faith with French missionaries. Her commitment to Christianity and vow of virginity was misunderstood and ridiculed by her fellow villagers. She escaped to a nearby mission, where she attended daily Mass, taught the children, and cared for the sick and the elderly.

Sometimes the greatest misunderstandings can come from those closest to us. Like St. Kateri, God invites us to be faithful to our commitments of faith and to always respond in love.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Lily of the Mohawks, pray for us!©

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.

Combine butter with sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend in milk, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until the batter is just blended (a few lumps are ok).
