Sister Catherine is a nun. She works at Bishop Home, but unlike the other nuns, she does not view the rules as fixed proclamations that must be obeyed at all times. Sister Catherine, in fact, often bends the rules, and as a result, brings great happiness to everyone she meets. Catherine was particularly fond of Rachel and served as a mother figure to her.
