Sister Catherine is a nun who works at Bishop Home, but unlike the other nuns, particularly Mother Marianne, Catherine does not view the rules as fixed proclamations that must be obeyed at all times. In fact, Catherine often bends rules to bring about greater happiness to everyone she encounters. Catherine has a particular fondness for Rachel and serves as a mother figure along with Haleola, who is also a dear and trusted friend to Catherine.
