Welcome to the Annunciation Cathedral

Whether you are visiting for the first time, exploring the Orthodox Christian faith, or looking for a parish to call home, Annunciation Cathedral is a place of worship, learning, and community rooted in Christ and the life of His Church.

Our parish is made up of people from many backgrounds and at many different stages of their spiritual journey. Some have been Orthodox their whole lives, while others are just beginning to explore the faith. Wherever you find yourself, you are welcome here.

What to Expect

If you’re planning a visit, you’ll find a reverent and prayerful service centered on the worship of God. Orthodox services are rich in Scripture, hymnography, and tradition, engaging both heart and mind.

Annunciation Cathedral is also home to a vibrant and welcoming community life centered around faith, fellowship, culture, service, and family connection. Parishioners of all ages participate in ministries and activities throughout the week that help foster meaningful relationships and a strong sense of belonging

Visitors are always welcome to observe, participate as they feel comfortable, and speak with our clergy or parishioners afterward.  If you’d like to connect with us, ask a question, or introduce yourself, please go to our Visitors page where you can provide some information about yourself and a member of our parish will follow up with you.

New to Orthodoxy?

If you’re new to the Orthodox Church or simply curious, you’re not alone. Many in our community began the same way, with questions and a desire to learn more. We encourage you to take your time, attend services, and explore the faith at your own pace. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about visiting, worship, and the Orthodox faith.
