Welcome to Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church

Through this web site, we are pleased to be able to introduce you to that same worship and fellowship as it is expressed in the life of our Parish. If you are a new member of our parish, or are considering membership, these web pages will acquaint you with what our parish offers to those who give it support and sustenance; to those who already belong to the church, we hope they will provide you with the assurance that your sacrificial offerings are received with profound respect and are utilized to maximum effectiveness. They will, in any case, enable you to make the informed decisions that are necessary for a meaningful relationship with your church!

As an extension of our "Outreach Ministry", we're pleased to announce that the Divine Liturgy will be broadcast live.  The purpose of this ministry is to provide shut-ins that have Internet access, college students that may not be able to get to an Orthodox Church, or people interested in our precious Christian Orthodox Faith, the opportunity to view our church services. If God forgives us for our sins, why do we need the Sacrament of Confession?”

If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 

but if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses..."

(Mark 6:14-15). Forgiveness is extremely important in our walk with Christ. At the end of the Sunday evening vespers, we will ask                                                                              forgiveness of each other. With our current situation, it will be difficult to gather in the Church and, as is the tradition, embrace each other and ask for forgiveness.

It has been His Eminence Metropolitan Savas’ dream for years to host an annual music and arts festival, showcasing the many talents of the people of our Pittsburgh Metropolis. That dream will finally become a reality this year with our first ever metropolis GOMoPalooza Music and Arts Festival! This will be an event for the whole family, held on Saturday,           August 17 th at the St. Demetrios Community Center in Warren, Ohio. All the art displayed, and music performed will be offered by our very own GOMoP people, of all ages. We also have a very real need to raise funds for our Metropolis Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and this event will hopefully become an annual fundraiser for it. Contact Despina Semertsidis (440-241-5323) if you are interested.
