Who we are
St. Catherine Of Siena Parish is the newest Roman Catholic Parish in the Diocese of Hamilton, formed out of the union of Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Lourdes Parishes on June 28th, 2017. We still offer Mass and serve the community from both Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Lourdes sites. The future plan is to build a new parish church in which everything will be unified.

St. Catherine Of Siena Parish History

Our Lady of Lourdes Parish: Established 1958. Founding Pastor: Fr. Clifford Day. 1958 was centennial of the apparitions at Lourdes, so Our Lady of Lourdes was chosen as name and patroness of the parish. Church building blessed by Bishop Joseph Ryan on May 24, 1959.

Catholic Women’s League. established September 23, 1958.
Corpus Christi Parish: Established 1962. Founding Pastor: Fr. John H. Lawless. Initially met at former Barton Community Centre on Upper James. Building was constructed to be “parish hall”. First Mass was celebrated here on March 3, 1963. This “hall” continued to serve as the church as no church building was constructed.

St. Catherine of Siena Parish: This is the newest Roman Catholic Parish in the Diocese of Hamilton. The name was selected with reference to St. Catherine as a bridge builder between communities. Fr. Mark Gatto was assigned as first Pastor along with Fr. David Reitzel as Associate Pastor.
The two previous parishes continue as Sites for this parish. A Building Committee was created in November 2017 with Deacon Tom Vert as Chair. Achim Klaas of Klaas Design was hired as Liturgical Consultant and Micheal Biljetina of ATA Architects Inc. was selected as Architect. Plans and Designs for the new church building are progressing. (see New Building Update Status on website for further information: https://www.catherineofsienachurch.ca/new-building-status-update/ ).
The new church will be on the south corner of Rymal Road and Sherman Road. Once it is built, the two previous sites will be closed and we will all be gathered together as one parish in one church. It will be the main Catholic Church serving the Catholic community south of Lincoln Alexander Expressway on Hamilton Mountain. We look forward to a vibrant future.

"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
