In Chapter 25 of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus reminds us that we will be judged by our works of mercy. 

Our faith defines 7 corporal works of mercy:  Feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, bury the dead.

There are opportunities at St. Catherine's to perform works of mercy, including: 

• Providing food and/or serving at our monthly commitment to provide a meal, which alternates between the        Salvation Army and Dismas House of Burlington.
• Joining the St. Catherine's Team or pledging financial support for the annual COTS Walk for the homeless.
• Visiting or sending notes to our homebound parishioners.
• Knitting prayer shawls for ill or homebound parishioners
• Assisting at funerals Mass as a server; assisting at funeral receptions by providing food or kitchen help.
• Help clean grave markers in our cemetery.
• Our Parish provides food, toiletries and financial support for The Shelburne Food Shelf, the Interfaith Christmas Project for Shelburne Families, and Joseph's House Outreach Center in Burlington.
