Dear parishioners
At the present time, our staff is here to serve, so just give us a call if you have a particular need or request and we will do our best to help you. Our office number is 454-0680. To reach my direct line, press extension 2. To make an appointment or for an emergency need, please call me at that number.
We understand that some will not feel comfortable returning to Church at the present time, but many are looking forward to doing so as well.
We will offer the following Mass schedule for St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish. Please note that this schedule and process will remain in effect until further notice and could be subject to change in light of new information from the CDC and the Bishop's office. To accommodate people for different times, there are four weekend Masses and four weekday Masses. For those who are unable to attend Mass in person, three Masses (from Calais) will continue to be offered LIVE-stream on our parish Facebook page, and after Mass uploaded to our parish website – www.sktparish.org.
SATURDAY
These protocols are in effect until further notice, and they are subject to change, as we will be monitoring closely the guidance from the CDC and the Bishop's office.
I realize that these protocols may seem challenging and difficult for some, but we are very grateful for the opportunity to gather together and celebrate our faith again. Please be patient and kind to one another, especially as we reconvene for the celebration of the Eucharist.
Please pray for me, the members of our parish community, and our extended community as we continue to look forward and look ahead with Hope!
Thank you for your financial support!

There is no need to send your budget envelopes in the mail, just make the check and send a note along with it. Thank you very much!
2020 Catholic Appeal - Walk Daily With Jesus - “This is our joy: to walk with Jesus.” - Pope Francis
Daily, we are called to renew our commitment to walk with Jesus and our Church. As a community of faith, we journey together to discover, follow, and share Jesus with each person we encounter along the way. In both word and action, we are called to share our faith to make Jesus present to those who need to hear and see him the most. As a community of faith, we are called to be witnesses to the Gospel, changing individual hearts one at a time and transforming the communities where we live. This is our work, the work of our Church, made possible through your support. Please look into your heart and step out in faith by prayerfully considering a gift in support of the 2020 Catholic Appeal. Our goal as a parish this year is $37,134.00. After six weeks, to date (as of June 28) our parish has already pledged 68 gifts with a total of $24,075.00, which is 65% of our parish goal. Thank you for your consideration and support of the Catholic Appeal. FMI, visit: https://portlanddiocese.org/Appeal
May God Bless you and your loved ones with His Peace!
