Saint Catherine Eastern Orthodox Church

Saint Catherine Eastern Orthodox Church of Hagerstown of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) is pleased to welcome you to our new Website.  Saint Catherine's is one of the oldest Orthodox Churches serving the Lord in the Eastern Panhandle area and is under His Beatitude, Herman, Archbishop of Washington and New York, Metropolitan of all America and Canada. 

December 2006 marked our 25th Anniversary in Hagerstown, Maryland and enjoyed a year-long celebration which culminated on December 3, 2006, with our Bishop (Metropolitan Herman) concelebrating our Liturgy along with former and future members of the clergy.

We are a community of believers who are always happy to see new faces, so bring yours in today and let your voice raise up with ours in a sacrifice of prayer and praise to Him who trampled down death by Death and rose again!!!

"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himselt being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple of God."
Ephesians 2:19-22
