Welcome to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral 

The spiritual home to generations of committed steward families and the spiritual hub of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco. Rooted in the traditions of the Orthodox Christian faith and enriched by the vibrant heritage of our Greek ancestry, our Cathedral serves as a sacred place for worship, community, and spiritual growth. Whether you are a lifelong member, a newcomer to Orthodoxy, or simply exploring, we invite you to join us in prayer, fellowship, and service.

Together, we continue the legacy of faith, culture, and love that has shaped our Cathedral for over a century.

What is the Orthodox Church?

“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant.
It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman.
It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational.
It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the
Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”
