Where have all the Cathys gone?

 


So this is kind of funny . . .

My husband and I were playing school with our eight-year-old granddaughter. She was the teacher and we were the students. We had to pick new names for ourselves.

My husband was Bob and I was Cathy.

To my absolute shock, our granddaughter was totally unfamiliar with the name Cathy.  "Doesn't she have any Cathys in her class?" I asked our daughter when she came home. "Hmm," she said, "That's a name I haven't heard in awhile." 

Seriously? Where have all the Cathys gone? At one time in my life I knew seven Cathys! I even worked with two, at the same time!

How many Cathys do you know today?

Do you have a favorite saint named "Cathy"? 

(Interesting tidbit, St. Catherine of Siena's parents had 25 children, half of whom died in childhood. She was their 23rd child and had a twin who died in infancy. Catherine became a Third Order Dominican and is one of our great Doctors of the Church.)
