Some information about St. Catherine
St. Catherine is a parish of The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Arcdiocese of North America, Diocese of Miami and The Southeast. This is the American jurisdiction of the same Church of Antioch mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 11:26). In 1995, we entered the Orthodox Church in this Archdiocese because it was and still is very open to the reception of converts. The Antiochian Archdiocese, under the leadership of His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph, sees itself on a mission to bring America to the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith. Because of this attitude, the Archdiocese has experienced tremendous growth in the
last twenty years.

In 1995, we entered the Orthodox Church in this Archdiocese because it was and still is very open to the reception of converts. The Antiochian Archdiocese, under the leadership of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip Saliba, sees itself on a mission to bring America to the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith.

At St. Catherine, many of our members are converts from various Protestant backgrounds. We also have in our community several people who are “cradle” Orthodox. We are all united in “one heart and mind” in the Holy Orthodox Christian Faith.
We are a small parish with a vision for growth. While we work for the growth of this parish, we are reminded of the scripture that says, “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it” (Psalm 127:1). We pray that Christ our God will build his church in this place by sending us people who can serve, sing, worship, pray, teach and work to spread his Kingdom.
Consider this your invitation to join with us as we offer our worship to God The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. On Sunday, The Divine Liturgy is at 4:00 PM.
