Holy Family American Orthodox Church/UOCC Catacomb Church Program We offer the English Missal, 1962 Liturgy (Mass)! We offer the Traditional Latin Orthodox Liturgy in the vernacular. To those that cannot attend a Church because of infirmities or disabilities, The Church House Program is for you! In their attitude toward worship, early Christians stood apart from pagans and Judaic observers. They followed St. Paul's characterization "You are the Temples of the Living God" (2 Corinthians 6:16). The place where they worshipped had no particular importance. It was usually a Large Room in the member’s home. The focus was on worshipping God and praying. As their numbers grew, so came large and spacious buildings that took the place of a simple room/chapel... The Church House way of worship and celebrating Divine Liturgy gave way to Churches (Temples) and Cathedral's of Today. The House Church practice waned in popularity. CONTACT Fr Richard O'C.
