During this National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we wanted to take a few minutes to recognize some of the many, many volunteers who serve our parish. It has been a busy month at St. Catherine’s, and without our volunteers, we truly could not do everything we do. Please continue to check our bulletin, our website, and our Facebook page for more spotlights on the many, many volunteers who selflessly give their time, talent, and treasure to our parish every single day. Please click on the article title to see the full article and pictures of some of our fantastic volunteers!
