As we approach the end of January in 2023, and reflect on 2022, I would like to thank all the parishioners for your wonderful generosity and support of the parish throughout the year, week in and week out.

This year Christmas fell on a Sunday, and our Christmas collection for the last few years is as follows:

Christmas 2022 $ 86,232

Christmas 2021 $109,805

Christmas 2020 $102,062

Christmas 2019 $101,162

Christmas is a busy season, and if you missed contributing, it’s not too late to make an offering by using the Christmas envelope or make your gift online through our on-line giving system. If you need assistance, please reach out to Mary in our Parish Office.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude for your sacrifices you make to grow our St. Catharine Church community.

May God Bless you in 2023,
