This brief history of the parish would be incomplete without mentioning the sacrifices made by its members. A high level of commitment has been needed to overcome such variables as job transience and, at times, the small number of members. Time and again, the community has had cause to be grateful to its Patroness, the Theotokos. She, as well as the Holy Trinity, have clearly sustained the community during its twenty-year history. As a result, the members of Annunciation Orthodox Church have remained faithful, sacrificial, and full of hope. May God remember them in His kingdom!
