Have you noticed some changes around St. Katharine’s? They’re the result of work by the three Pastoral Plan committees to make our parish an even stronger community of faith.

Liturgy Experience

Thank this committee for the new music you’ve been hearing! At their urging, the music ministry has enlivened Mass with contemporary versions of Psalms and the songs that are sung every week (Holy, Holy, the Memorial Acclamation, Amen and Lamb of God).

Parishioner Engagement

Please welcome our newest ministry, Faithful Families. You’ll spot its members at Children’s Mass and parish coffees, acting as greeters at church doors, passing out goodies to children and running service activities. This group is just getting going and has many plans!

Faith Sharing

A result of the previous Pastoral Plan, this ministry is really beginning to take off! This committee has energized the Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) program – a series of five small group studies designed to help participants embrace a Christ-centered life. CCO is running more small groups and has more students than ever before.
This is just the beginning of the team’s three-year effort to energize and build our church. The
committee leaders meet with Tom Lenz, their mentor from the Catholic Leadership Institute, this week to give a progress report and make plans to fully implement their goals. Look for more changes at SKS soon!
