welcome home my dear brothers and sisters to All Saints Byzantine Catholic Church

come, see, and join our spiritual family as we worship our God together united in christ.

We first want to welcome you home. Our desire and mission begins as you come from the street. We are a spiritual family and each one of us has a unique and distinct life story. We all are enriched by the diverse stories of each family member who comes through the door into All Saints. You might notice as you first walk in to the parish, the beautiful iconography that covers the entire interior of the church building. This is a reminder to all of us, that God has done and continues to do wonderous deeds for us, has not abandon us. He desires a deep relationship, communion and union with us as His beloved sons and daughters.

If you have never participated or experienced a Divine Liturgy in the Byzantine or an Eastern Catholic Church, it may seem overwhelming and even dauting, but do not be afraid. The reality is that our worship, actually the entire Catholic Church, has various ways of expressing the beautiful gift of the proclamation of the Word of God and the Eucharist. We offer the bread and wine to God, which represents all of our works and intentions. God receives our sacrifice of praise upon His heavenly altar and gives us in return the Body and Blood of Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ to be fed to us, His beloved sons and daughters. This is what Our Savior told us to do in memory of Him at the Last Supper.

We are beyond excited and grateful to share the gift of this moment together at All Saints. If this is your first time at a Byzantine Catholic Church, passing through on vacation, you have been a Byzantine Catholic all your life, or maybe you find yourself in between. However, you came to this House of God, we are so thankful to have you worship our God together with us today!
