Safely Worship with Us
To help mitigate COVID-19, our bishop has implemented the following safety directives to ensure safety and peace of mind when you come to church in conjunction with guidelines from the CDC.
Note: We have suspended Call-Ahead Seating/Mass Reservations effective October 6, 2020.
Here is what St Catherine's is doing to keep you safe:
Masses to Maintain 100 Persons Max Capacity; First Come, First Served

Our bishop has directed us to maintain the temporary 100-Person Max in the church to mitigate the virus. However, we are now permitted to offer overflow liturgies in DiLeo Hall. St. Catherine's will now accommodate the faithful attending on a First Come, First Served bases. We will maintain the 100-Person Max in the church with the overflow celebrating Mass in DiLeo Hall.
We'll continue to safely group families by household and practice 6' social distancing.
