St. Catherine of Siena Parish, Wilmington, Delaware

Saint Catherine of Siena Parish is located in Wilmington, Delaware. It has a Roman Catholic church located on Centerville Road with over 1100 families. The original church was founded in the 1960s by the surrounding Catholic community. A new church was recently built in 1993 and the original church foundation is now the St. Catherine gymnasium.

The school building is now owned by the government and is used for space for a charter school. Four hundred children attend the religious education/Christian formation weekly. The St. Catherine high school youth and middle school youth groups stay active and do work-camps in the summer. For those families speaking Spanish, there is a bilingual program.
