Mass times

Dear Friends,

This Saturday, October 3, we will have our first Social of the season following the 4:00pm Mass. Again, this is an opportunity to meet friends, new and old, over a glass of wine and some finger food. If you are new to the parish this is definitely for you – you won’t be a stranger for long here.

This Sunday, October 4, after the 8:30am Mass the Men’s Group will be hosting breakfast. Come hungry and again, get to know your fellow parishioners.

To keep these ministries up and running we always need new volunteers. Both the Saturday Social and Sunday Breakfast Groups would benefit tremendously from some new members. These are monthly events that are hosted only during the school year and never during the major holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. 

Do any of you have the time to volunteer to look after the Altar Linens for one month a year? It involves washing/ironing the cloths used to clean the chalices, the ones that are on the altar and the hand towels.

To volunteer for any ministry at the Church, you need to have the Safe Environment and Background Check completed and be a Registered Parishioner. 

It is our monthly Food Drive this weekend to support the East Spring Branch Food Pantry.

Finally, if you wish to have a say in how the parish should move forward over the next few years, please complete the DMI survey: Complete the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey here.

Till the weekend,

Fr. Niall 

Our parish is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ as a parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.

The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at St. Catherine's.

Click Here and Take the DMI survey today. (starting Sep 27)

●  Your input helps strengthen our parish.

●  Results help leadership prepare for the future.

●  A report of the findings will be shared.

If you prefer a paper copy, you may pick up your survey after daily and Sunday Masses. They will be located in the Sacristy - see Fr. Niall. To submit the completed paper survey, please drop it off in the parish office.

Our parish blessed in so many ways. Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship. 

Thank you for helping with this important project and please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
