Fifty years ago, people around the world celebrated the first Earth Day. Over the years, many have recognized this day with festivals, seminars and special events; taking the time to reflect on how can they make a difference.
This year, Earth Day will look different. We are not gathering in the public square, but in the living room. We are not attending large outdoor events, but virtual ones streamed from our homes.

The Rise of the Domestic Church
|
|
A direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the prohibition of large gatherings and the need for social distancing. Where we find our churches closed, we see the rise of the Domestic Church.
The Domestic Church is the smallest body of gathered believers in Christ. A church in the home where God is honored.
Our catechist, Sr. Theresa Josephine would like to share this
video
from The United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd that shows how God is honored in our homes.

Mr. Alfredo and his wife are doing well. Members of their church congregation are helping them with errands and food delivery, and they are delighted by the offers of service and support. He considers the St. Catherine’s community like members of his own family and wants everyone to know that he cares deeply for us all and says daily prayers for the children, parents, faculty, and staff.
If you would like to send a message to Mr. Alfredo, please email us at
