One of the most important things we can do for our children is ensure that they learn about our Orthodox faith.  Religious education should be an important part of their lives.  Classes for the 2022-2023 Sunday School year will begin Sunday, September 11, 2022.  Registration will begin Sunday, September 4, 2022 after church in the hall.  Also, if anyone is interested in becoming a Sunday School teacher, please contact Fr. George.

We are sorry to say goodbye to our organist, Michael Malis.  We have been very blessed by his playing and wonderful spirit.  He will truly be missed as he moves on to play for St. Nicholas of Troy.  We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.  If you have the chance, please thank him for his service to our beloved Cathedral.  

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.

Stewardship

The Membership Committee has embarked on an important mission 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 to 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 was 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 of our beloved Cathedral.  Over the summer, we will work hard to create a strategy that will hopefully improve the experience we all come to church for and 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!
