St. Catherine of Genoa celebrates 100 years

For the past 100 years, Betty Burke has been connected in some form to St. Catherine of Genoa Church.

Whether it was her father-in-law who helped build the original church on Emmett Street or her own official entry into the church 65 years ago, life without the Catholic church seems impossible.

“Any (trouble) that has come along, my parish is always here,” Burke said. “My children grew up in this church and were married in this church ... it’s very important.”
