Sustainable Sunday will occur on the third Sunday of the month.
On Sunday February 21, our parish hosted the first in an ongoing monthly series “Sustainable Sunday!” February’s theme was Food, and how our food choices impact the environment, plus recipes for delicious meatless meals.
The Peace and Justice Committee at St. Catharine's continues hosting "Sustainable Sundays" one Sunday each month. Following themes from Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si, we highlight a topic for awareness and action on how we can act sustainably to care for our common home.

These small efforts together contribute to significant impact on caring for our common home!
