Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
Christ is in our midst!
Welcome to the website of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Brockton, MA. The Annunciation is within the Metropolis of Boston, which is part of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America – one of the daughter Churches of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The Church of the Annunciation is the only Eastern Orthodox church in Brockton and its surrounding communities.
At the Annunciation, we conduct the full cycle of Sunday services, commencing with Great Vespers on Saturday evenings through Orthros (Matins) and the Divine Liturgy on Sunday mornings. Throughout the liturgical year, we also celebrate the feasts of our Lord and the Theotokos (Mother of God), as well as the feasts of all major saints of the Church. From fall through spring, small vespers are also celebrated on most Wednesdays nights, with adult religious education sessions following the service.
We welcome all to worship with us, whether you are visiting the area or live locally. May God bless you!

It is very easy for those of us who are “cradle” Orthodox to take our faith tradition for granted. Having been raised in the Orthodox Church, many of us don’t always appreciate nor fully understand our Holy Tradition, which has been handed down to us through the ages. Some have even become disgruntled with various aspects of Church tradition, practice, and the holy canons, to the point of offering “suggestions” of how the Church should change and modernize. At this point, I would like to share something from the other side of the fence. Following is the story of a non-denominational Protestant congregation which converted to the Orthodox Faith en masse, specifically because of having discovered Orthodoxy and its strict adherence to the Holy Tradition handed down to us from the Holy Apostles themselves.
