This is the first time, in several years, that I remember it feels a bit like the Michigan winters we used to have. Of course, that means we do our best to shovel and plow the lots here at St. Catherine’s. For those who have a handicap sticker/plate, please remember that you can use the west parking lot entrance into the church for weekday Mass or Sunday Masses. January also reminds us that it’s time once again to think about our personal taxes. Contribution statements from St. Catherine’s are available for your tax purposes. If you need assistance with this, please either contact Linda or Al in our Finance Office. We appreciate all the support that has been given to St. Catherine's in 2021, including the work of the many volunteers who make it possiblefor us to do the programs and activities throughout the year. With the way that the calendar falls, we have a long stretch before we begin the season of Lent. In fact, we do not begin the season of Lent until the first Wednesday of March. As we find ourselves in these days of Ordinary Time, may we not take the Lord or our faith for granted.
