NORTHWEST CATHOLIC ATHLETICS
The grade school athletic program for St. Catherine
Parish members is administrated by the tri-parish Northwest Catholic
Athletic Association (NCAA). The
association is staffed by volunteers from St. Catherine, St. Bernadette,

The Northwest Catholic Athletic programs promote the growth and
development of Catholic moral principles by emphasizing fun, teamwork,
learning and self-satisfaction through the experience of competition.

There are many opportunities for parish members
interested in sharing their talents and time to assist with the various
