St. Athanasius Byzantine Catholic Church

About this church

St. Athanasius Byzantine Catholic Church normally celebrates Vespers and Holy Repentance Saturdays at 5 p.m., Matins Sundays at 8:15 a.m., and Divine Liturgy at 10. Sunday liturgy lasts about 90 minutes. Services are sung without instruments in English with some Old Church Slavonic, use icons rather than statues, and invite active congregational participation. Worshipers stand for much of the service but may sit as needed, and service books help newcomers follow. Clothing ranges from formal to casual, and children are warmly included in family worship. Livestreams and schedule updates are available online.

The parish is fully Catholic and in communion with the Pope of Rome while expressing the ancient Byzantine Christian tradition. Holy Communion is reserved for properly prepared baptized Catholics and Orthodox Christians, an important distinction for first-time visitors. The church offers confession and spiritual direction by arrangement, children's bulletins tied to the Sunday calendar, prayers, devotions, and resources for exploring Eastern Christianity. The website does not state parking arrangements, step-free and hearing access, nursery care, child check-in and safeguarding, whether Vespers lasts a typical length, or precisely which Orthodox Christians should seek pastoral guidance before receiving. Seasonal feasts may alter the published weekend pattern, so the current schedule remains the authority.
