Thank you for welcoming me into your home at St. Catherine. I have been a priest only a little while, three years. I need your help to grow as your priest. I have already begun to experience how wonderful you are. I pray to continue the good work and loving service of Fr. Paul Vigil, Fr. Fernando, Fr. Raul and the history of blessed priests who have served the St. Catherine parish family. I ask the Lord’s help and I invite you to pray with me during this Year of the Priest. Each Thursday evening we have silent adoration to receive the Lord’s blessings so that we may grow gracefully as God’s people.

You are in my prayers.
Fr. Paul Griesgraber


Gracias por darme la bienvenida a su parroquia de Santa Catalina de Siena. He sido sacerdote solo por un poco tiempo, tres años. Necesito su ayuda para crecer como sacerdote. Ya he empezado a experimentar lo maravilloso que Uds. son. Hago oración para poder continuar la buena labor del Padre Paul Vigil, el Padre Fernando, el Padre Raúl y la historia de los bendecidos sacerdotes que han servido a la familia parroquial de Santa Catalina de Siena. Pido la ayuda de Nuestro Señor y los invito a orar conmigo durante este Año del Sacerdote. Cada jueves por la noche tendremos Adoración del Santísimo en silencio total para recibir bendiciones del Señor para poder crecer en su gracia como pueblo de Dios.

Los tendré siempre en mis oraciones.
Padre Paul Griesgraber
