St. Catherine's Year of Fellowship

Fellowship is an important component to the Christian life. We always thank God for giving us so many brothers and sisters to worship with us and rouse us to “love and good works.” As a large family, fellowship also means bearing with one another in charity. Keeping this in mind, we ask everyone to respect those who are praying before mass by keeping a reverent silence. This helps us to prepare, as well, and to remember that the Lord of the Universe is present. After mass, please remember that our Lord is also our Father and it is right and good for God’s children, filled with joy at having received Him, to exchange greetings before leaving.
