Remarks By His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America At the Service of Great Compline »
Centennial Celebrated in York
His Eminence and the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation celebrated the parish’s 100th anniversary on the weekend of April 28-29, 2018 with several events spread over two joyous days.
On Saturday, April 28, an open-house event called “A Day of Orthodoxy,” featured remarks from Metropolitan Savas and two distinguished area clergy, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick of Emmaus, PA, and Fr. Alexander Goussetis of Lititz, PA. His Eminence and the parish community then welcomed with gratitude and enthusiasm His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Geron of America, to a formal anniversary dinner-dance that evening, which also included several local Orthodox Clergy and local dignitaries. Both Hierarchs gave wonderful addresses to the attendees, congratulating our community on its longevity, and commending it to its bright future.
The weekend celebrations culminated with the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy on Sunday and the elevation of long-time pastor Fr. Andrew Tsikitas to the honor of Economos. Following the divine services, the community offered a luncheon in the Hellenic Cultural Center expressing gratitude for all the blessings past, present, and those yet to come.
