Please join us for our Sunday coffee hour, offered by Annunciation Sunday School, immediately following the Divine Liturgy.

Thank you to the Annunciation Pioneers for their generous donation of $400.00 towards the Ukraine Relief Fund.

The Holy relic (‘Αγιo Λείψανο) of St. Andrew the Apostle will be on display in the reliquary of the Annunciation Cathedral of Detroit for embracement and veneration for whomever wishes to do so.

The Holy relics have been safe-guarded in the sanctuary of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral for over one hundred years, and it is now the time for them to be venerated and presented to all the faithful Christians.

The Membership Committee of the Annunciation Cathedral has embarked on an important mission to attempt to encourage fellow Orthodox Christians to be part of our family. Our purpose is not to try to dislodge people from their parishes, but instead to have them also consider supporting the Cathedral whenever they can, to encourage people who have historically been our parishioners to return and to encourage people who currently aren’t participating in a church, to consider us. Our initial efforts focused on encouraging our current members fill out a stewardship card and to gather information. We truly thank everyone who completed the questionnaire, which was an important part of this Stewardship effort. We received a significant number of responses and the feedback is invaluable in helping us gather information to assist in planning for the Cathedral’s future.  We are in the process of gleaning and prioritizing the ideas and suggestions that will help to increase our membership and participation in our beloved Cathedral.  Over the summer we will work hard to create a strategy to hopefully improve the experience we all come to church for, to foster our spiritual development. Along the way, we hope you will all help in the process any way you can, especially pray for us to be given enlightenment on how we can best accomplish our mission to serve our Cathedral family. We are planning to have a secondary Stewardship campaign in September as a launch to our new plan. We will periodically send out other informational notes to keep you apprised of how the process is going. Those of you who have already filled out your stewardship cards and indicated interest in participation, we will be getting in touch with you soon. Thanks again!

In this marvelous year of anniversaries – one hundred years for AHEPA and one hundred years for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America – I am thrilled to be with you at this celebration of noble deeds and fellowship.

What an honor it is to be gathered with you for the festivities celebrating the One Hundred Years of AHEPA, in which the Daughters of Penelope have stood side by side since 1929. Your founding in San Francisco reminds me that with the establishment of AHEPA in Atlanta, this wonderful brotherhood and sisterhood has always been national in scope. Just like the Sacred Archdiocese of America, you have always served the interests of all members of the Omogeneia.

Unto the Most Reverend and Right Reverend Hierarchs, Pious Priests and Deacons, the Monks and Nuns, Presidents and Members of Parish Councils, Honorable Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Members of Leadership 100, the Day and Afternoon Schools, Philoptochos Societies, the Youth, Greek Orthodox Organizations, and the entirety of the Christ-named Plenitude of the Holy Archdiocese of America:

Tonight, I am so well pleased to be with this community in Yonkers, where you honor the Prophet who has no book in the Old Testament named after him, but is perhaps the best known in our Holy Orthodox Church. It seems that every mountaintop in Greece has a chapel dedicated to the Prophet Elias, your patron, whom we honor this evening at this Service of Great Vespers.

come together this morning – in this Church of the Holy Cross – to remind ourselves of the sacrifice of others, of the lives that were lost, and the struggle that continues. I speak, of course, of our memorial and commemoration of the illegal invasion of Cyprus by Turkey that happened forty-eight years ago this coming week.
