The Pancretan Association of America Fraternity of Detroit "PSELORETES", the Cretan Ladies Society "KPHTH" and the "LEVENDOYENNA" Youth of Detroit are commemorating the Heroes of the Holocaust of Arkadi (November 8, 1866), and 200 years of the Martyrdom of the 4 Cretan Saints of Rethymno (October 28, 1824), and all deceased past members, on Sunday, November 3, 2024.

We have the pleasure to announce that the Architect/Project Manager, Mr. Christos Pavlides of Upstate New York, on behalf of “Panagia Soumela” Pontian Society of Detroit, Michigan will be generously donating an authentic copy of Panagia Soumela of Pontos, which is kept in Veria Greece.

This Holy Icon was brought from Panagia Soumela Monastery to Veria after the monastic Soumela brotherhood was forced to abandon the Monastery, under the command of the Turkish government. 

The “Panagia Soumela” Pontian Society of Detroit, Michigan will be celebrating and venerating Panagia Soumela of Pontos each ecclesiastical year around the date, May 19th, in memory of the tragic holocaust of the Pontian Greeks of Euxinus Pontos.

It is an honor for all to keep the memory of the holocaust of our fellow Greeks of Pontos and instill and inherit to the younger generations the heroic sacrifices of all the Pontians who gave their lives to save their land and their families and eventually to become war refugees abandoning their own homeland and live in diaspora.

The icon will be escorted and gifted to the Annunciation Cathedral by the Architect/Project Manager, Mr. Christos Pavlides in person by the end of January, 2025.

On the Sundays that the Lions are playing a 1:00 PM home game, parishioners are kindly asked to leave the parking lot immediately after church. There will be no coffee hour.  If you leave your car in the lot for any reason, you will be required to pay for parking at the posted rates.   The church leases the parking lot to Park-Rite.  This is our single largest source of income.  On non-game days, you can stay parked in the lot until 2:00 pm.
