Mistletoe Gala / Harvard Club

Young adults across the Tri-state area are invited to join us for an evening of Christmas spirit, live music, dancing, open bar, and a sumptuous buffet to benefit the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of New York City. 9pm. The Harvard Club of New York City, 32 West 45th St, NYC.

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church was founded in 1892 and celebrated the Divine Liturgy for the first time in the Hudson Memorial Baptist Church on West 4th Street. Since the early days of Annunciation's inception, the founding stewards of the parish worked faithfully and diligently to make a difference in the lives of all people.

Now located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, the Annunciation Church and its parishioners have joyfully inherited this legacy and we have developed dynamic ways to make a positive impact on all members of society. Our entire community-from our youngest children to our seasoned parishioners-are blessed to be part of this spiritual renaissance.

As a parish that has ministered to the needs of people for over a century, we are well aware of our calling to always prepare for the forthcoming challenges and blessings. In an effort to ensure that future generations will also celebrate the Good News of the Annunciation, our parish has planned a full restoration of our landmark sanctuary.
