With the scent of roasted lamb and spices soon to fill the Mission District, the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral is preparing to host its 74th annual San Francisco Greek Food Festival, a celebration of faith, community, and hospitality deeply rooted in tradition.

Now led by the newly appointed Dean, Father Constantinos Economos, the cathedral—the first Greek Orthodox cathedral established in San Francisco—is undergoing a spiritual and physical renewal. Though its new main worship space remains under construction, the church community remains active and outward-focused.

"You know, the Mission District is the historical home of this church," said Constantinos. "We've actually been here for over 100 years, before a lot of people even moved into this neighborhood. So we want to be somebody who sets the tone in this neighborhood. Who leads by example."
