One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. - Arthur Ashe
Our Background
The St. Catherine’s Support Circle is one of the faith-based missions of The Parish of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes. We were founded to help parishioners navigate the employment challenges of the 2009 recession. We’ve evolved over the years and currently provide support programs for job seekers and encourage participation by both job seekers and those interested in providing their advice and support.
The SCSC steering committee includes professionals who have experience in diverse areas including human resources, executive search, career coaching, clinical career counseling, general management, education, marketing, public relations, finance, accounting and IT. If you have similar experience, and would be interested in joining your fellow professionals on the committee, we welcome you to attend one of our monthly SCSC meetings to speak to one of our steering committee members.
