This Lent, I want to hold hands with the whole earth, to remember God’s delight in its Creation and Christ’s embrace in his Incarnation. This Lent is about all of us: tiny creatures, vast forests, old folks and young. The one living organism that is planet earth, finally realizing our radical unity.

Administrator/Principal Letter
Dear St. Catherine’s Family,
Blessings on each of you as we recall the journey of Jesus to Calvary and to his Resurrection to new life!? I pray we will find just a few minutes each day at home, work, in the car, wherever we can to breathe in the love of God as we recommit to being Christ for one another. At times, we may find ourselves saying: “Maybe tomorrow or the weekend when I have more time.” We must MAKE the time! After we have done so, our hearts feel such a special peace!
Could I ask you a favor? If you have questions or concerns about what happens at school, please come to me or to us directly. Information shared through group chats cannot be addressed unless we know about it. Often times we hear information second or third hand and that can create unrest and mistrust. Thanks so much for your help with this concern.
