St. Katherine of Siena Church
Founded 1893
Wayne, East Lancaster and Aberdeen Ave.
Still Active
St. Katherine’s was established in 1893, although their church was not dedicated until August 30, 1896. The land for the Church was given by the Wayne Estate. In 1917 the Church established a private elementary school, and later established a girl’s high school. The original stone church was demolished in 1965 (a bad year for Wayne churches) and was replaced by a newer church with a modern design. St. Katherine’s school has been expanding over the years, and recently built a new gymnasium.
