Saint Katherine Greek Orthodox Church

About this church

Saint Katherine Greek Orthodox Church begins Sunday Orthros at 8:45 a.m. and celebrates Divine Liturgy at 10:00 in Falls Church. For weekday feast-day services, the regularly published pattern is Orthros at 9:15 and Divine Liturgy at 10:30, though visitors should use the parish calendar to identify the applicable feast and date. Services are also streamed through the parish YouTube channel. Saint Katherine describes Orthodox worship as elaborate, solemn, and joyful, expressed through sung or chanted prayer, Scripture, sacrament, ceremony, and the active participation of the gathered congregation. Standing is the usual posture, with kneeling reserved for particularly solemn moments.

The Eucharistic Divine Liturgy is the center of parish worship, supported by a ministry structure of schools, studies, book clubs, service organizations, youth groups, and young-adult groups. Philoptochos and missions and outreach provide avenues of service, while multiple youth groups connect children and teenagers with the life of the parish. The church states its mission as proclaiming and living the Orthodox faith in a loving environment where parishioners can participate fully and seek salvation in Christ. For someone new to Orthodoxy, the parish itself recommends attending Divine Liturgy as the best introduction: the music and ceremony may initially feel unfamiliar, but together they reveal the tradition's communal, historic, and Resurrection-centered character.
