Welcome!
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Our parish's mission is to sanctify the Orthodox Faithful through worship, sacraments, education and various ministries. To reach out and minister to persons in need in our neighborhood and city. To support the regional, national and international ministries and missions of the Greek Orthodox Church. The Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation is a parish in Buffalo, NY that ministers to Orthodox Christians throughout the Niagara region. We hope and pray that this website not only informs but enlightens you as to the various aspects of our Holy Orthodox faith, as well as activities being planned in our Parish.
With Love, In Christ,
Rev. Dr. Father Christos B. Christakis
Parish Priest
