Welcome to the Church of the Annunciation Website

Parish
"Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."

It is impossible to imagine an Orthodox church in which candles are not lit.” (Blessed Simeon of Thessalonica, 15th Century)

We know that at this time it can be difficult to pray from home and not physically be in the church. One of the first things most people do upon entering an Orthodox Church is to light their candle and offer prayers for one’s personal needs or that of a family member or friend, we also light candles to pray for protection and safety so that we may live this life without fear. If you would like to light a candle please click the image above and follow all instructions. We look forward to praying with you and your family.

Thanks,

Fr.Nick

Church Fire

Our parish experienced a fire on Memorial Day Monday, May 25 that occurred in the altar area. In particular the fire originated from the kandili (oil lamp) and burned down onto the floor through the carpet and into the floor boards. The soot damage through the entire church has curtailed services in the church at this time and we have converted our Demetrakas Hall in the Rev Peter Mihailides Center into our worship space. We are offering “in-person services” with advance reservations adhering to the State of RI coronavirus guidelines and that of our Metropolis of Boston, through the Assembly of Orthodox Bishops -USA. We look forward to the resolution of these damages and hope and trust in the Lord’s support, comfort and stength until we return under our domed church, knowing and believing that Christ will support our efforts!
