Yes, Catholics believe in tithing as it is a good pious practice to support your Church. However, this is viewed as a general guideline not a rule to be rigidly followed. If tithing would cause a hardship and deprive your family of food, shelter, or necessities one is not obliged by this guideline. Look at the parable Jesus told about the widow (who gave a few coins) and the rich man (who gave little in relation to his means); Christ stated that she gave more as it was done from the heart and not just a ritual giving out of obligation.
The moral of the story is give from the heart and it will please God no matter what the amount.
