Traditional Catholic Homeschooling Rooted in Parish Life

✝️ A Community of Faithful Families at St. Catherine of Siena Parish – Phoenix, AZ

Welcome to the St. Catherine Homeschool Apostolate, a fellowship of faithful Catholic homeschooling families based out of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Phoenix, Arizona.

We are a small, dedicated group of families committed to traditional Catholic values, authentic homeschooling, and parish-centered life. Inspired by our patroness and united by the sacraments, we seek to form our children in truth, beauty, and virtue—together.

🏡 Who We Are

As active members of St. Catherine of Siena Parish, our apostolate reflects the spirit of our parish’s liturgical richness and doctrinal fidelity. We are:

• Parents who believe in the primacy of the domestic church

• Children learning and growing in a community of peers who share their faith

• Families who integrate prayer, learning, and sacramental life into every day

We homeschool not only to teach reading and arithmetic, but to pass on the Catholic faith in its fullness, helping our children know and love God deeply.

📚 What We Offer

Our apostolate blends traditional homeschooling with parish and community life. We offer:

⛪ Rooted in Parish Life

Everything we do is grounded in our spiritual home at St. Catherine of Siena Parish, where:

• Our families attend Mass, receive the sacraments, and support parish ministries

• Our children grow in reverence and virtue through catechesis and example

• Our community finds strength, support, and inspiration in the liturgy and teachings of the Church

This connection to parish life is not an accessory—it is the foundation of our apostolate.
