St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic Church is known to many as "the church on the hill." Tucked away at the northern edge of the City of Milwaukee, we are located just southeast of 76th Street and Brown Deer Road. Since 1855, we've strived to bring the presence of Christ to our corner of the metropolitan area and to the world beyond. We hope that your visit to our web site will give you a taste of the community and holiness of this parish, that it will remind you of past visits, or lead you to future discovery. A warm welcome awaits you, as well as a prayerful community, and a deep experience of the closeness of God.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Since the feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th, falls on a Sunday this year, the celebration of the feast transfers to Monday, December 9th. We will celebrate Mass on the 9th at 12 noon. (While it is still a holy day, it is not a day of obligation this year.)
