Dear Saint Katherine Family,
Kali Sarakosti! We hope you and your loved ones are enjoying the beautiful, snowy landscape of this Kathara Deftera (Clean Monday). As we begin our Lenten journey together, we pray that this holy season will be a time of peace, prayer, and spiritual fulfillment for our entire community.
Great Lent is a sacred period of reflection and renewal, and we are excited to walk this path together as we look forward to the joy of Pascha.

Special Friday Salutations & Fellowship
