"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." - St. Catherine of Siena

Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena Church!
St. Catherine’s has been the spiritual home for the Mountain Lakes, Boonton Township, Boonton, Denville, Parsippany,and Rockaway communities and beyond since 1957. Generations of families have worshipped and continue to worship here. It is the place where we grow together spiritually, in service, and socially. We encounter the living God in the person of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We experience the Lord sacramentally and in the lives of one another. St. Catherine’s is a place of welcome in which hospitality is offered to all, whether you are a first-time visitor or as a member of our community. We welcome all of you who seek the Lord. We are blessed by your presence. We span different generations, but all seeking to build an experience of Church that is genuinely welcoming, mission oriented, and Christ-centered. Whatever brings you to St. Catherine’s, please know that you are always welcome. May the Lord give you his peace!
