Sincere condolences to Catherine´s family.
Catherine will be remembered as a woman of great faith, kindness, and love. In her life, she reflected the gentle presence of Christ through her care for others, her attentiveness, and the compassion she showed to those in need. She was a valued and devoted parishioner of St Mary´s and St Columba´s, and her presence among us will be deeply missed.
May Catherine´s soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Catherine was a great friend to our family. I 1981 I had brain surgery with a 9 month baby. Catherine was our valuable helper. All our children loved her. We have stayed connected since and watched her share her love and kindness with many other people. May she rest gently now.
