Greetings beloved Annunciation Parishioners,
On Sunday, December 21st, our Annunciation youth will visit homes and businesses to spread Christmas cheer the traditional Greek way—by singing Kalanda!
Kalanda are beautiful Greek carols sung from home to home and business to business, sharing blessings of health, joy, and prosperity for the new year. This centuries-old custom reminds us of the warmth of community, the joy of giving, and the spirit of our Orthodox faith.
We will be caroling from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 21st. Please sign up with your name and address. We’ll create a schedule and contact you a few days in advance to let you know the approximate time we’ll be visiting! All proceeds benefit our Annunciation Youth Dance Ministry.
Wishing everyone a blessed Nativity Fast!

Tuesday, November 4, 2025 Update
Αυτή την εβδομάδα, οι μαθητές μας είχαν μια συναρπαστική ευκαιρία να ζωντανέψουν την εκμάθηση γλωσσών μέσω ενός πρακτικού μαθήματος!
Αντί να μαθαίνουν απλώς από ένα σχολικό βιβλίο, οι μαθητές ασχολήθηκαν με πραγματικές επικοινωνίες και διαδραστικές δραστηριότητες που τους ενθάρρυναν να σκέφτονται, να μιλούν και να δημιουργούν στη δεύτερη γλώσσα τους.
Επισκέφτηκαν κάποιες περιοχές της Ελλάδας όπως την Αθήνα, Θεσσαλονίκη, Κρήτη και Μυτιλήνη!
Είμαστε περήφανοι για τη συμμετοχή και τη δημιουργικότητα των μαθητών μας.
Αυτή η επιτυχημένη εμπειρία πρακτικής εκμάθησης μας υπενθυμίζει ότι η γλώσσα δεν μαθαίνεται απλώς αλλά και βιώνεται!
Ακολουθούν περισσότερα!

This week, our students had an exciting opportunity to bring language learning to life through a practical lesson!
Rather than simply learning from a textbook, students engaged in real-world communication and interactive activities that encouraged them to think, speak, and create in their second language.
They visited various areas of Greece, including Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, and Mitilini.
We’re proud of our students’ participation and creativity. This successful practical learning experience reminds us that language is not just learned—it’s lived.
More to come!

September 23, 2025, Agiasmos and Orientation
On September 23rd, we welcomed back students, teachers, families, and their guardians to our Agiasmo Service and Orientation as we commenced our Greek School year.
With reassurance, Father John, our board, and teachers are delighted to serve as good shepherds to your children. We are here to instill not only academic values but also Christ-like love. Our mission is to provide a community where hearts are nurtured, friendships are formed, and Christ remains at the center of all that we do.
We hope that, with your guidance and partnership, we can help them all grow in their love for our culture and encourage them to live out their faith both inside and outside of our church.
We thank you for your commitment and dedication to your children’s growth and development. Your support of our Greek School ministry makes a difference in fostering the learning program and building a strong foundation for future generations.
Καλή Σχολική Χρονιά και Καλή Πρόοδο στα παιδιά μας!
