Saint Catherine Orthodox Church
About
Saint Catherine Greek Orthodox Church is a Braintree parish in the Metropolis of Boston of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, serving the faithful of the South Shore and beyond. Sunday worship centers on Orthros followed by the Divine Liturgy, and the parish supports a full sacramental life: weddings, baptisms, blessings after the birth of a child, catechism classes for those becoming Orthodox, and Holy Communion and Holy Unction brought to the sick at home, hospitals or nursing homes.
The parish grew out of the South Shore Hellenic Association, formed in 1958 by families who wanted a Greek Orthodox church at the gateway to the South Shore. It first met in a converted Quincy church, opening on October 23, 1960, and in 1982 bought the former Pappas Farm site in Braintree. The congregation moved there in 2004, worshiping for several years in the Grand Hall of the new community center.
