Let us Pray for You
Prayer is Christian insofar as it is communion with Christ and extends throughout the Church, which is his Body. Its dimensions are those of Christ's love.
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2565
Just as we invite you to come to pray with our community, St. Catherine’s offers to pray for your special needs and intentions.
Mass Intentions
Our Catholic faith has a long tradition of priests offering masses on behalf of others. You may request the priests at St. Catherine’s to offer a mass for you or loved ones:
Celebration for a Birthday, Anniversary, for other Special Occasion
Petition for a particular need
Thanksgiving
Repose of the soul of a deceased loved one
Please note the suggested donations for mass intentions below. These go to the parish to support the activities of our parish community.

To request a mass intention or blessing, please contact the Parish Office at 707-553-1355 during normal business hours and our parish staff will be happy to assist you. You may also send your request online by selecting the button below.
Blessings
Among sacramentals blessings (of persons, meals, objects, and places) come first. Every blessing praises God and prays for his gifts. In Christ, Christians are blessed by God the Father "with every spiritual blessing."This is why the Church imparts blessings by invoking the name of Jesus, usually while making the holy sign of the cross of Christ.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1671
You may request a blessing from the clergy at St. Catherine’s for your home, automobile, etc. Contact the parish office to schedule a blessing. Please note the suggested donations for blessings below.
