Our Lady of the Annunciation Melkite Catholic Cathedral

About this church

Our Lady of the Annunciation Melkite Catholic Cathedral in West Roxbury is a Melkite Catholic parish, part of the Byzantine tradition of worship that traces back to the early Christians of Antioch. The congregation was founded in 1910 in Boston's South End. On Sundays, Confession is offered at 8:00 a.m., Orthros begins at 8:45 a.m., and the Divine Liturgy is celebrated at 9:30 a.m. in English and at 11:30 a.m. in Arabic. The Arabic liturgy moves to 11:00 a.m. in July and August, so confirm the current time on the website.

Weekday and Saturday worship includes the Divine Liturgy on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. and Great Vespers on Saturday evening, with Confession available around Vespers. Feast days are marked by Great Vespers at 7:00 p.m. on the evening before and the Divine Liturgy on the day itself. The site lists a Sunday School for children, a Sunday bulletin and prayer bulletin, and a link for joining the liturgy online by Zoom. Online giving is available through the parish website. Families who would like their homes blessed can call the rectory to schedule a visit, and the priest may visit several homes on the same day when neighbors or relatives organize together.
