Divine Liturgy in our Plateia

Dear Faithful of the Annunciation,

Christ is in our midst!

With improved air quality and cooler temperatures, we invite you to pray the Divine Services, this Sunday, September 27th in our beautiful Plateia/Courtyard!
All Divine Services will continue with slightly adjusted times, 8:30 am Orthros with the Divine Liturgy following at approximately 9:30 am, until further notice. While the afternoons and evenings are still warm, as we finish the Divine Liturgy at approximately 10:45 am, it is still in the 70s!

Please also save the date for our Parish Assembly, October 4th. Immediately following the Divine Liturgy, we will remain in the Plateia/Courtyard and conduct our Parish Assembly. Agenda and more information regarding our upcoming Parish Assembly will be sent soon.

Thank you for your patience, prayers, and understanding. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Faithfully,

Fr. James Retelas
Presiding Priest
