Church Tours

 Welcome

The parishioners of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church welcome you to experience the sights, sounds and flavors of Greece. We also hope our  visitors will learn a little about the Orthodox faith by attending one of the church tours.

History of Our Church

The first Greek immigrants that came to Pensacola were seaman that manned sailing vessels in the mid to late 1800’s. Late some of the crew settled here as fishermen. Gradually the stream of immigrants from Greece increased and by 1910 there were about 120 immigrants in Pensacola. These new citizens made their living in the fishing industry, groceries, restaurants and other small businesses.  The first Greek orthodox Church was built in 1910 at the corner of Wright and Reus Street and was the home to this parish until 1954 when the  church at this Garden Street location was completed. The education building was completed in 1961 and the hall was built in 1950. The church was consecrated by the Archibishop Iakovos in 1973.  Our parish is an active community of 200 families of various ethnic backgrounds.
