The local economy, though diversified in recent times, still draws deeply from its agricultural roots, with agribusiness playing a significant role. While there are no grand monuments, the quiet dignity of the old farmhouses, some standing stoically against the passage of time, serves as a subtle testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the people who have called Catherine home. The nearby waterways, though not grand rivers, offer placid stretches of water, reflecting the sky and providing a quiet counterpoint to the open fields, a place for reflection and the simple enjoyment of a sun-drenched afternoon.
