Any KC area Orthodox here?

I don't think it does. That's what my Catholic friends have told me when I invited them to Liturgy. They just went saturday night like you suggested.

Indeed it doesn't.

Canon 1248 §1. A person who attends a Mass celebrated anywhere according to a Catholic rite, either on the feast day itself or in the evening of the preceding day, satisfies the obligation of participating in Mass. (my translation; emphasis mine)

From the Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism:

115. Since the celebration of the Eucharist on the Lord's Day is the foundation and centre of the whole liturgical year, Catholics—but those of Eastern Churches according to their own Law—are obliged to attend Mass on that day and on days of precept. It is not advisable therefore to organize ecumenical services on Sundays, and it must be remembered that even when Catholics participate in ecumenical services or in services of other Churches and ecclesial Communities, the obligation of participating at Mass on these days remains. (emphasis mine)

So attend Saturday evening Mass if you wish to fulfill your Sunday obligation.

It might be a little much for a first visit, but I see on their website that Bishop Basil will be at St. Basil's this coming weekend, April 2-3. A hierarchical liturgy is awesome (I've only attended 1). Bishop Basil is also my bishop and very well-respected in the diocese.

Turns out that my friend in KC is being very shy.
