@duck-development's solution will most probably work. However, it is recommended to not tinker around with CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.

Another way to achieve this is (directly taken from the rosbuild to catkin migration guide:

# let cmake find OpenMP and set some variables
find_package(OpenMP REQUIRED)
if(OPENMP_FOUND)
  message(STATUS "OPENMP FOUND")
  set(OpenMP_FLAGS ${OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS})  # or if you use C: ${OpenMP_C_FLAGS}
  set(OpenMP_LIBS gomp)
endif()
...
# the entry in catkin_package could be optional (I am not fully sure about this)
catkin_package(
  DEPENDS
    OpenMP
)
...
# exemplary executable foo using OpenMP
add_executable(foo
  ros/src/foo_node.cpp
)
target_compile_options(foo PRIVATE ${OpenMP_FLAGS})
add_dependencies(foo ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})
target_link_libraries(foo
  ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
  ${OpenMP_LIBS}
)
