Family Faith Formation 2017-18: Journeying with St. Catherine
St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, Austin, TX

St. Catherine of Siena was a Third Order Dominican. As a true Dominican, she spent her life preaching the Word of God and exhorting, teaching, even imploring  people to change their lives and grow closer to God. Since St. Catherine is our patron saint, we seek to grow in the Dominican charism of revealing Holy Truth - the Dominican motto - through Praising, Blessing and Preaching. Learn more about the Dominicans here.
