NEXT SUNDAY
WE EXTEND OUR MOST HEARTFELT SYMPATHY to the family of Ed Stieritz, who was buried from our parish last week. Ed was an integral part of St. Catherine parish, as well as the diocese of Covington, for many years. Please remember Charlotte and the rest of Ed’s family in your prayers.
The week before Ed Stieritz died, he sent me a card. I was going to pass on to you some of what he wrote when he
suddenly passed away. I would still
like you to hear one part: “Please
give my love to all those St. Catherine parishioners who called and wrote to me.
It was most gratifying!” I
am sorry that you had to hear it after the funeral, but I wanted you to know
that your messages to Ed during his illness were helpful to him and appreciated.
Fr. Stef

include your family name to put on the Christmas Card.
