Faithful Families
We are parish families working together to share God’s love with simple acts of service for our church and community. We foster fellowship at St. Katharine’s by hosting the annual Palm Sunday craft and Advent wreath-making workshop, the monthly virtual Rosary and children’s service projects at parish coffees.
