Starting October 2025, we will have a different offertory process. Instead of passing the baskets from person to person, we will be invited to stand together and place our offerings in the baskets or boxes prepared in front of the sanctuary. Hospitality ministers will be there to assist you if needed.
Starting in October 2025, we will no longer have the readings in the bulletins.
There are four reasons for the change:
Space for Other Articles – We want to use the bulletin more effectively for parish news, reflections, and announcements.
Availability of Readings – All the readings for Sunday and daily Mass can already be found in the green hymnal book located in the pews.
The Bulletin Will Be Distributed After Mass – To encourage full participation in the liturgy without distraction, the bulletin will now be handed out as people exit the church, not as they come in.
Liturgical Appropriateness – the proper way to participate in the Liturgy of the Word is by listening attentively to the proclamation of the Scriptures, not by reading along silently.
If you would like to follow the readings, please use the journeysongs hymnals in front of the pews.
“I’m New.”
Whether you’re new to St. Catherine’s or new to the Catholic faith, we are eager to meet you and introduce you to our community.
