Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England

About this church

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England begins Sunday Orthros at 8:30 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10:00 at 514 Parker Street in Boston. Coffee fellowship follows downstairs in Davis Hall, where visitors can meet parishioners and the priest. The cathedral has worshiped in the same facility since 1923, giving the building nearly a century of continuity within Boston’s Greek Orthodox community.

Visitors exploring Orthodoxy are warmly invited to attend, though Holy Communion is reserved for baptized or chrismated Orthodox Christians as a sign of shared faith. At the end of worship, guests may receive the blessed bread distributed as people leave. Youth ministry combines faith discussion, worship, fellowship, and service. The cathedral’s Veterans Ministry regularly serves meals at the New England Center and Home for Veterans, while Byzantine music, choir, campus ministry, Sunday School, and other groups provide different paths into parish life. For a first visit, the sequence matters: Orthros precedes the principal Liturgy, coffee follows it, and the Communion guidance lets non-Orthodox guests participate respectfully without uncertainty.
