Serving Together
We can put our faith into action by serving the church and our community. See below for service opportunities here at St. Catherine Parish.
Altar Linens
Members of the Altar Linen Ministry take care of the sacramental linens. These sacred linens must be handled with the utmost care and respect. They also prepare the Altar for the celebration of the Mass.

Altar Server
Altar Servers minister at God's Altar with reverence, dignity and love. They assist the priest at Sunday Masses, Funeral and Wedding Masses, and other liturgical functions.
Children and adults who have received the Sacrament of Holy Communion are eligible to become Servers.
Adults are needed to serve the daily Masses at 8:00 am and 12:00 noon, and other Masses when an Altar Server isn't available.
This is a special ministry which allows you to serve and demonstrate your love of Christ through your words and actions.
