Depending on which system and mac you could mean by what you wrote,
the next supported macOS could be 10.14.6 Mojave. ~ The mac is too old to
run Catalina. -- Perhaps may not support Mojave either.
{..Your mac pro (tower) would likely require a 'Metal compatible' graphics card..}
If you meant a portable macbook, then no. This Mojave won't run in 2011 model.
Mac Pro introduced in 2013, plus mid-2010 or mid-2012 models
with a recommended Metal-capable graphics card.
"..To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose
About This Mac from the Apple menu . ~ If your Mac isn't compatible with
macOS Mojave, the installer will let you know.."
Link to read about and download Mojave 10.14.6 Installer (it then can get the
hours-long wait for system files from Apple servers) here:

"If you have hardware or software that isn't compatible with Mojave, you might
be able to install an earlier macOS, such as High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan."
Good luck & happy trails!🌞🎣

No, only 2012 and later MacBook Pro. See compatibility section of How to upgrade to macOS Catalina - Apple Support
Good catch -- I read MacPro and thought MacBook Pro; not the first time I've done that/
