St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, Catholic church in Wake Forest, United States.
St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is a Catholic house of worship in Wake Forest featuring Romanesque architectural style with a bell tower and spacious gathering rooms. The building has capacity for approximately 1,700 worshippers and functions as a center for regular services and community events.
The church traces its origins to Catholic gatherings beginning in 1910 at the Bolus family home, which eventually led to construction of the first building in 1940. These early humble beginnings established what would become the parish community today.
The parish community gathers for regular worship in both English and Spanish languages, reflecting the diverse makeup of Catholics in Wake Forest. Members from different backgrounds participate together in celebrations and community activities throughout the year.
Visitors can attend services at multiple times on weekends, with Saturday evening and Sunday options available throughout the day. The building is easily accessible and has ample space for larger gatherings and events.
During its early years, the parish used a converted railroad chapel car named St. Peter's Chapel as a temporary place of worship. This unusual mobile chapel served an important purpose before the permanent church building was established.
