St. Catherine Laboure



St. Catherine Laboure Pastor

Call me Fr. Maina (myna) like a myna bird!
Fr. P. Maina Waithaka

Originally from Kenya, I came to the United States in August of 1998 upon the invitation of a priest friend of mine who had worked in Kenya as a Maryknoll priest associate. I schooled in Mundelein Seminary for four years and graduated with a masters in theology.

I was ordained in 2002 and was assigned to St. Sylvester, where I worked for my first six years. Last year I was transferred to the Southside as pastor of St. Stanislaus Bishop & Martyr in Posen.

I love being with people and enjoy working. I am mostly intrigued and fascinated by St. Catherine’s school. I look forward to working with and for the people of St. Catherine. I am sure I will receive support and warmth from all of you. I want to thank you all, especially Fr. Bob Mair and the faculty of St. Catherine for the thorough introduction they gave me when I visited the parish.

Assignment as SCL Pastor began on July 1.

The St. Catherine Laboure Parish Family
Welcomes You with open arms!
We pray that as our Pastor, you may have God’s
abounding strength to withstand the demands of
your vocation.
We pray that as your new family, we will be
supportive as we work together to enrich our
faith community.
We pray that as friends, we will share our journeys
by lifting up, sharing and comforting one
another.
We pray that we will continue to grow in faith as
God’s family and experience His abundance
of Love!
AMEN
