Saint Kathryn

Please join us on Sunday, September 9, 2018 on the parish grounds from 1:00-3:00 p.m. for our Jubilee Parish Picnic. Sponsored by Saint Kathryn Parish and the Knights of Columbus, Council 5162, this annual event includes a cookout (hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, desserts) and a favorite tradition of the parish: Father Joe in a dunk tank! This year, we will also have a 50/50 raffle and more games for the children including a hula hoop contest --start practicing now! To be added to the guest list for the event, please click the cookout photo, print the registration tag, enclose it with payment in an envelope, and drop it in the offertory basket at a weekend Mass or return to the parish office no later than September 5th. The registration tag may also be found in our bulletin.

Has someone you know expressed an interest in learning more about the Catholic Faith? Perhaps you know someone who is beginning on a spiritual journey toward Catholicism but has never been baptized or is a member of a different Christian denomination. Maybe you are the spouse or child or friend of a Catholic and are simply looking for answers to some of your questions. Well, we have an opportunity for you! Deacon Ray and the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) team will host a chance for you to ask your questions and to open the door for further discussion about the Catholic Faith. There is no topic that is “off limits” and, in fact, we hope that there will be some of those difficult questions that will challenge us to greater faith! Plan to join us on Monday, August 20th from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Room 1 on the lower level of the church. Your questions, observations, and insights will be most welcome—and so too are you!

In 2019, our diocese, following many other dioceses around the country, will be starting our transition to moving the Confirmation age before First Communion, thus restoring the original order of Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist as it was in the early church up until 1910.
