CELEBRATING OUR 85 YEARS!

This year, Annunciation Cathedral is 85 years old. What an exciting time for the Cathedral!  As you have read in previous issues of the Herald, issues concerning our history we originally decided to celebrate our 70th.as Annunciation (since the Cathedral, orignally named "St. Sophia," became "Annunciation" in 1936.) However, as we studied our origins and discussed the importance of this history for us and for the future of the Cathedral, we decided celebrating the 85th year of our actual founding was more meaningful

Accordingly, the Parish Council decided we should mark this special anniversary with an appropriate celebration. The celebration will take place, as originally scheduled, on Saturday, November 11, 2006. In order to properly plan the event, we are convening a meeting of our parishioners, at the Cathedral, Wednesday, March 1, beginning at 7 p.m. Please bring with you thoughts and ideas, along with your energy and willingness to plan a joyous, exciting celebration, in grand "Annunciation style," that will serve as a fitting tribute to our past, and a prelude to an ever more promising and bright future. We look forward to seeing all of you on March 1.

KALI SARAKOSTI

Of all that we do as a Christian community--and, as Orthodox Christians, a Christian community that continues the original Church, founded by Christ some 2000 years ago--worship is central. It brings us together, as family (St. Paul calls it the "Body of Christ"), to worship God, who is one, but who has made Himself known to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--three Persons, One God. By worshiping together, as family, we are ennobled and enabled. That is, we are made aware of who we are--sons and daughters of God. And, we are given power to become the bearers of the Good News. What is this Good News? It is spelled out in the Bible, in such passages as the Gospel According to John, chapter 3, verse 16: "For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life." All this begins with the Birth of Jesus. We call this the Incarnation. In other words, God becoming human. It continues with his life and ministry. Then, with his betrayal, his crucifixion, and his death. But, it does not end there. Three days later, Jesus Christ is raised from the dead. He doesn’t merely come back to life. In other words, he is not resuscitated, as if revived from near death or unconsciousness. No, he actually dies, but he is resurrected, that is, he is raised from death by God the Father. We call this Event "Pascha". The word "Pascha" means "Passover." So, Jesus Christ becomes the "Passover." He comes back to life, with the result that we, too, will come back to life. St. Paul puts it well in his letter to the Romans, chapter 6, verses 4 and 5: "Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like this, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." It is because of the Resurrection that the Church came into being. In a word, we are Christians because of the Resurrection. If Christ were not raised from the dead, there would be no Church.

In order to prepare to celebrate the Resurrection (this year it falls on April 23rd), the Church asks us to do a number of things. First, it asks us to step up our prayer life. This is why, in addition to the Sunday Divine Liturgy, we celebrate the Liturgy of the Presanctified every Wednesday morning, beginning at 10 a.m. Then, every Friday evening beginning March 10, for five Fridays, we hold a special prayer service which honors the one who gave birth to God in the flesh. She is Mary, Ever-Virgin, known from the earliest times as "Theotokos," i.e. "Godbearer." On the sixth Friday, we will celebrate the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified in the evening, beginning at 6 p.m. Then, we intensify our prayer experience together by coming together day and night during Holy Week.

Second, the Church asks us to fast. Fasting, as it is spelled out in the canons, consists of eating no meat, no animal products, beginning March 6, and going right to April 23rd. It basically means becoming a vegetarian. On March 25th, known as the Annunciation, which commemorates the Archangel Gabriel’s "announcement" to Mary that she would give birth to the Savior, and on Palm Sunday, we may eat fish. On Saturdays and Sundays throughout Lent
(since the fasting on those days is "relaxed" just a bit) we may add oil to our food, and drink wine. Now, the Church asks us to fast both as a discipline (just as we need spiritual training by stepping up our praying}, we also need to regulate what goes into our bodies), but also, and this is the third point, to become merciful.

This is the third thing the Church asks us to do, to practice mercy, that is, to become more compassionate. How do we do this? By taking the money that we save from not eating those burgers, that second helping, those special treats, and giving that money, instead, to the poor, so as to heighten our sense of social consciousness. By doing this, we become more aware that we are not in this alone (that is, in the world, doing our "own thing") but we are in this together (both in the Church, as a family, and in the world, with everyone and everything in it). Now, some people may object and ask, "You mean you want me to give a dollar to every homeless person on the street?" And the answer is as we heard Jesus speak on Meatfare Sunday, from the Gospel according to St. Matthew, chapter 25, verse 40: "Just as you did it [i.e. fed the hungry and thirsty, clothed the naked, visited the sick or those in prison] to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." In a word, if we are to live meaningful lives, here and in the hereafter--we’ve got to try to help others, even if it’s just acknowledging their existence. Kindness and compassion are the distinguishing characteristics of Christians, because God Himself is Love (1 John, chapter 4, verse 16). (Also, read St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13.)

The Great Lent is an invitation, then, to receive the greatest of all gifts, the gift of salvation. May it find us earnest. In this spirit, we wish you, one and all, kali sarakosti {literally, a "good 40 days"}--a good Great Lent, which begins March 6th.

MARCH 25th

For Orthodox Christians, and especially, Greek Orthodox Christians, March 25th is a great day. First, it marks the event known as the Annunciation. It’s when the Archangel Gabriel "announced" to Mary that she would become the bearer of God in the flesh. This is why she is called Theotokos. Literally, the word means, "Birth-giver of God." For us who make up the Annunciation Cathedral family, this is an important day for us because it is the "name day" or Feast Day of our parish. As good hosts, then, you want to be on hand to greet your fellow Christians when they come to celebrate with us. This celebration will take place the evening of Friday, March 24th, when we celebrate the Great Vespers of the Annunciation (along with the 4th Stasis of the Akathist), beginning at 7 p.m. (A simple reception will follow.) The celebration continues the next morning, Saturday, March 25th, with Orthros at 9 and the Divine Liturgy at 10:15. Following the Liturgy, the Cathedral Ladies Philoptochos invites us to attend a luncheon, in our Korinthias Center, where, in addition to eating, we will have an opportunity to name a "Woman of the Year" (a long-standing Cathedral tradition), extend name day and birthday greetings, and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship.

March 25th, 1821, also marks the beginning of Greece’s "declaration of independence." In reality, it marks the beginning of that nation’s struggle to free itself, after 400 years of occupation by the Ottoman Turks. This gave impetus to other nations, which were also under Ottoman occupation, to seek their freedom, as well. And, so, March 25th is a day which celebrates freedom. You don’t have to be of Greek background to celebrate March 25th as independence day. But, you can understand why this day is so important to the Greek nation. At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, we hold a brief doxology, thanking God for the sacred gift of freedom. We invite you to celebrate with us.

DR. ANTON VRAME TO SPEAK AT CATHEDRAL MARCH 4

As previously announced, the Cathedral is pleased that Dr. Anton Vrame, Ph.D., Director of the Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute and Assistant Professor of Orthodox Christian Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, will be our first Lenten series speaker this year. He will speak, following the Liturgy, on Saturday, March 4, on the general topic: What Does it Mean to Be Orthodox? The conference will take place, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with time for questions, discussion, and lunch. The donation will be $10, just to cover the cost of the lunch. We look forward to Dr. Vrame's speaking, and on a topic that is pertinent and vital, especially in our growing age of relativism and, simultaneously, religious indifference and even hostility on the one hand, and an ever more vocal religious right on the other.

Dr. Vrame is a native of Chicago, holding degrees from DePaul University (B.A.) and the University of Chicago (M.A.) A 1989 graduate of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology (M.Div.), he worked as Associate Director of the Department of religious Education, specifically focusing on the creation of the Living Our Orthodox Faith curriculum series as well as other projects of the Department. In 1997, he received the Ph.D. in Theology and Education from Boston College. He is the author of "The Educating Icon: Teaching Wisdom and Holiness in the Orthodox Way," editor of "The Orthodox Parish in America: Faithfulness to the Past, Responsible for the Future." He has published articles on issues in Christian Education in English and Greek in academic journals. He taught Christian education at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is Vice President of the Orthodox Theological Society of America.

CATHEDRAL NEGOTIATING WITH EVENTS COORDINATOR

In its endeavor to restore the catering functions at the Cathedral, we are currently working with an events coordinator to oversee all the catered events in our facility. The responsibility of of the events coordinator will consist of meeting with the clients, scheduling and overseeing the events, coordination with the caterer, and, of course, providing for decor, including linens, centerpieces and the like. In addition, the coordinator will market the facilities for baptism, wedding, and other catered functions. We hope to have come to an understanding within the next few weeks, and to announce our resumed catering at the April 2 Parish Assembly, the April issue of the Herald, and also by means of specially prepared events packet.

PHILOPTOCHOS PLANS EVENTS; PROVIDES UPDATES

Following a most successful crab feed, with some 650 people in attendance on January 20th, the Cathedral Ladies Philoptochos are continuing to make a difference, both with respect to serving within our community and with respect to reaching out to those outside our Faith, who, nevertheless, as God’s people, are lifted up by our caring.
Please make a note of the following dates and times for Philoptochos-sponsored events through June. Plan to participate in as many as you can and to assist in any way you can.

PSYCHOSAVVATA -- SATURDAYS OF SOULS

The word "psychosavvaton" means "Saturday of the Souls. The Church has designated the Saturday before Meatfare Sunday as "Saturday of the Souls." That is, a day when prayers are offered for the repose of all souls. Another "Saturday of Souls" is the day before Pentecost (that is, 50 days after Pascha--this day is the Church’s "birth day). The two Saturdays which follow this first "Saturday of the Souls" (the day before Cheesefare Sunday as well as the first Saturday in the Great Lent), have also come to be known as Saturdays of the Souls. Technically, however, the Saturday before Cheesefare Sunday is the day we especially remember the souls of the monastics. The following Saturday is the Feast Day of St. Theodore "Tyro"--the Recruit; we recall the miracle which occured through him involving boiled wheat (which we use in memorial services), enabling Christians to continue the fast.

For the last fifteen years or so, the Priests of the Annunciation Cathedral and Holy Trinity, alternately, celebrate the services on the above-mentioned Saturdays, both in their churches, respectively, as well as in the chapel of Zoodochos Peghe (the Life-Giving Fountain) on the grounds of the Greek Orthodox Memorial Park in Colma. This year, Father Stephen will celebrate the services at the Cathedral on Saturday, February 25 and on Saturday, March 4. On Saturday, March 11, he will celebrate the services at the Cemetery Chapel. He will also celebrate services at the Cemetery Chapel on Saturday, April 29, which marks the name day of the Cemetery Chapel, as well as on Saturday, June 10 (the day before Pentecost). In all cases, Orthros will begin at 9 a.m. and the Divine Liturgy and the memorial services following will begin at 10 a.m

CATHEDRAL ENGAGES CLEANING SERVICE

Effective February 14, the Cathedral has engaged a cleaning service. ICS, which also cleans the High School here, will be responsible for the cleaning of all the Cathedral’s premises, including its offices, kitchen, chapel, hall, classrooms, and bathroons. (This is the same group that cleans up for us for special events, such as our recent Crab Feed.)

Since this is a large facility, in constant use, cleaning it and maintaining it are very important. The utilization of a cleaning service requires us, as parishioners and users of the facility, to assist. We can assist in two ways: 1. We need to be vigilant and to pick up after ourselves. Let us be careful not to throw things, such as wrappers and the like, on the ground, for example; also, let us pick up that cup or paper plate after we are done, especially at Sunday coffee hours, and toss them in the trash. 2. Let us make note of things that the cleaning service may have overlooked and bring them to the attention of the Cathedral office. The office, in turn, will point this out to the service. We have found that the service is very cooperative, so far. They are eager and willing to please us. While three is a written agreement of the scope of the work they do for us, they appreciate our pointing things out, as needed.

Meanwhile, we also appreciate the work that Phil Chiappari is now doing for us. On a time and materials basis, Phil has been going around the facility, repairing this and that (locks, door stoppers, plates, plumbing, and the like), in our continued efforts to keep our facility in tip-top shape and working order.

CATHEDRAL ENGAGES JOHN BOYER AS PASTORAL ASSISTANT

John Boyer, who, for some years has been with us as Psaltis and instructor of Byzantine Chant, has been engaged by the Cathedral as a pastoral assistant. As such, he will assist in the administration of parish activities and work with individuals and groups within the parish.

His duties will include, but not be limited to: Stewardship and Events Coordinator, and Director of Liturgy, Music and Education. The goal is to increase stewardship, strengthen existing programs and introduce new ones, such as concert and lecture series, oversee scheduling and staffing for services, acolytes, etc., and develop scores, as well as a center of ecclesiastical music at the Cathedral. (A fuller description will be disseminated at the Parish Assembly, which will be convened following the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, April 2.)

A native of Portland, Oregon, and a recent graduate of the University of California, at Berkeley, John possesses a number of gifts, especially the gift of music. His addition to the Cathedral family as a full-time member of the staff, aims to benefit the Cathedral, its parishioners, its organizations, and its programs, with a view to our continued growth and development.

CLERGY-LAITY 2006

The term "clergy-laity" refers to the gathering of clergy and lay delegates for the purpose of assisting in the administration of the church. Within the parish, this gathering takes place twice a year. We have become accustomed to calling this a "parish assembly." This term is also the one used in the Regulations of our Archdiocese.

Outside the parish, the term "clergy-laity" refers to both the gathering of clergy and lay delegates on a Metropolis level (the Metropolis of San Francisco) and on an Archdiocesan level. On a Metropolis level, this gathering takes place every year. This year, it took place February 27-28, at the St. Nicholas Ranch and Retreat Center. The Cathedral was represented at this gathering by Father Stephen, Patricia Aleck, and Jim Vorrises. The lay delegates were elected at our November, 2005 Parish Assembly.

On an Archdiocesan level, this gathering takes place every two years. This year, the Clergy-Laity will take place July15-21 in Nashville, Tennessee. the theme chosen for this year’s Biennial Clergy-Laity is "Sharing the Truth of the Gospel and the Love of Christ". It directs our minds, hearts, and preparations for the Congress to the essence of our sacred vocation in this world, which is to share the truth that illuminates the path of salvation so that all may know and receive the gift of life offered by our Lord. In the context of this year’s Clergy-Laity in Nashville, a Family Synaxis will take place. It will begin Sunday, July 16 and will consist of three sessions, Monday, July 17 through Wednesday, July 19. The first session is entitled "Who is our family?" The second is entitled "Sharing the Truth of the Gospel," and the third is entitled "Christian Love" and how we should be sharing it as members of Christ’s family.

The delegates to the July Clergy-Laity will be elected at our first Parish Assembly, which will take place following the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, April 2.

FESTIVAL 2006: SEPTEMBER 15, 16, 17: NEXT MEETING MARCH 21

Are you ready? Are you able? Are you willing? To get involved in the planning of this year’s festival, to be held on our church grounds at 245 Valencia Street, San Francisco, Friday through Sunday, September 15, 16th and 17th? If so, we invite you to come to the next meeting of the planning meeting, at the Cathedral, Tuesday, March 21, at 7 p.m.

As previously announced, Foula Vasilogiorgis is this year’s festival chairman. She will be calling on many of you who have participated in past festivals to invite your participation in the planning of this year’s festival. We are confident you will respond, knowing of your abiding commitment to the Cathedral and its many programs.

In this regard, the festival is vital inasmuch as we realize some $100,000 from it, with which to operate the church. However, you will agree, the festival is more than just about making money. It fosters our sense of community, faith and culture, which we share with our neighbors, friends, and visitors from throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. It has resulted in many lasting friendships (not to mention a number of marriages). And, it continues to make the Annunciation Cathedral a major gathering place of people, bringing hundreds of people together at any given time. Plus, festivals are lots of fun. The planning and all the work that goes into putting them on aside, they give us much joy. That’s why we keep putting them on; that’s why people keep coming and coming.

See you on the 21st.

SUNDAY, APRIL 9 - GODPARENT SUNDAY: AFFIRMATION, FOLLOWED BY FELLOWSHIP LUNCHEON

Each year, over the last several years, our Stewardship Committee hosts a most meaningful event. It is called "Godparent Sunday." It is a designated Sunday, when individuals come to church with those who baptized them, i.e. their Godparents, or with those whom they baptized, i.e. their Godchildren. Together, they participate in the Divine Liturgy, recite the Symbol of the Faith, i.e. what they believe--the Nicene Creed, which is also recited at the time of Baptism. Just before receiving Holy Communion, they affirm, as they did at the time of Baptism: "I renounce Satan...I have been joined to Christ." In short, they renew their sacred bonds, which they forged at the Baptismal Font, and which they continue to cultivate throughout their lives. Following the Divine Liturgy, a lenten luncheon will take place in our Korinthias Center, a further opportunity for bonding and fellowship. The event is open to all and is free of charge.

Avail yourselves of the opportuntiy of worshiping together as Godparents and as Godchildren, as we prepare to enter that most holy time of year for, on the 16th is Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and the Great and Holy Pascha.

COMMUNITY LINK: WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE DO?

Community Link is a ministry of the Annunciation Cathedral focusing on community building and outreach.

What We Do

We prepare food together, pray, share a potluck meal together, then go out to the homes of those who would like to receive a visit.

Who We Visit

Our visits include people experiencing isolation because of age or illness, undergoing a particularly stressful time due to the death of a loved one or loss of a job, or celebrating a joyful occasion, such as the birth of a child.

An Expanding Circle of Care

The idea underlying "Community Link" is an "expanding circle of care." We began by focusing on the needs of our own Cathedral community and will expand that circle of love and concern outward to include people outside our church community, seeking to respond to Christ's call to show love and mercy to our neighbors.

How do I request a visit?
If you or someone you know would like to receive a visit, please call Irene Avdoulos, our visitation coordinator. Or, you can contact the Cathedral Office at (415) 864-8000. All calls will be handled with confidentiality and sensitivity to your privacy.

How do I get involved?

Anyone who is interested in volunteering should contact Caroline Pappajohn, or via email at cpappajohn@yahoo.com.

VIVIAN VELLIS, AT 90, RECALLS MOMENTS IN THE CATHEDRAL’S HISTORY

You may recall that Vivian Vellis, one of our "Mothers of the Year," lived to be 101. When she was 90, she dictated some thoughts about her life experiences. Among them was the following excerpt concerning the Cathedral’s origins:

"My parents, two sisters and myself came to San Francisco in 1907, the year after the earthquake. My father was a psalti from the isalnd of Marmara, in Turkey. Since he had no other profession, he became a psalti at the Holy Trinity church, located on Seventh and Folsom Streets. Part of the church was damaged by the fire and earthquake and was being repaired. The priest was Father Constantinos Tsapralis and there [were] very few Greeks in the area.

"At that time there was no Archdiocese and no Uniform Parish Regulations, so the church members did what they wanted. Politicss was very strong and the priest and members took sides, which divided the membership. Some people sided with the King of Greece (Constantine the 1st), while the others sided with the Prime Minister (Venizelos). As a result, the community was divided into "Basilikos" and "Venizelos" parties. The church became so divided that about 1921 another church was built, on Pierce Street, and was named St. Sophia, composed mainly of "Venizelos" supporters. The first priest at St. Sophia was Father Calistos from Calavrita, Greece. He was later elevated to the rank of Bishop.

"After a few years St. Sophia became too small as the membership grew. They decided to move to a larger place and found the Valencia Street Theater in 1932-33 [actually, 1927]. The committee investigated the sale of the theater and asked Mr. Giannini of the Bank of America [then, the Bank of Italy] to get a loan. They were told that the bank does not give loans for churches, unless they had a co-signer. Mr. Chris Catharios became a co-signer, and the theater was bought with his help.

"After Father Calistos, Father Caravelas arrived, and a lot of remodeling was done to the inside and outside of the building to convert the theater into a suitable church. The temblo, that is, the wall between the altar and the front of the church, was made of walnut and constructed by Mr. Gus Dravilas, a private contractor. All the icons on the iconostasion were made and handpainted by Basilios Tsavalas.

"Some time later, Father Vasilios Lokis became the Priest at Annunciation and persuaded Father Tsapralis at Holy Trinity to come and join him at Annunciation. In 1939, Archbishop Athenagoras came to San Francisco to consecrate the church, which was now known as the "United Greek Community of San Francisco." During the consecration, the first seven or eight pews were reserved for seven dollars per person. The rest of the pews were free, but you had to be there by 9 a.m. if you wanted to get a seat. After some prayers were read in church, we all went downstairs to the street level. Then, the Archbishop took a long wooden pole, knocked on the closed doors, blessed the doors with holy oil and named the church "Annunciation." Then the doors opened, and the people went upstairs to continue the Liturgy. It was a beautiful and impressive service, and I am glad that my mother, my husband and myself could attend.

"When Father Tsapralis died, a few years later, he was given a solemn funeral, and was honored as a Protoporos, a [pioneer] priest in San Francisco."
