Abstract: In this paper, we study the stability of catenoids and helicoids in the hyperbolic $3$-space $mathbb{H}^3$. (1) For a family of spherical minimal catenoids ${mathcal{C}_a}_{a>0}$ in $mathbb{H}^3$, there exist two constants $0<a_c<a_l$ such that $$ $mathcal{C}_a$ is an unstable minimal surface with index one if $a<a_c$, $$ $mathcal{C}_a$ is a globally stable minimal surface if $ageq{a}_c$, and $$ $mathcal{C}_a$ is a least area minimal surface in the sense of Meeks and Yau if $ageq{a}_l$. (2) For a family of minimal helicoids $$ in $mathbb{H}^3$, there exists a constant $$ such that $$ $$ is a globally stable minimal surface if $$, and $$ $$ is an unstable minimal surface with index infinity if $$.
