Our Mission
Serve the Community by facilitating and assisting the uninterrupted operation of the Church of the Annunciation, nourish the spirit of Generosity that gifted this Church, respect timeless Values
The Church of the Annunciation stands out for its beauty, architecture, historical significance and is a listed monument of the Romanian capital. It is located within the grounds of the Greek Embassy in Romania, most probably the most beautiful Greek embassy building in the world.
The Association of Friends of the Hellenic Church of Bucharest (FHC)
The FHC was established to support the day-to-day operation as well as the long-term preservation of the Greek-Orthodox Church of the Annunciation, a beautiful, and unique Greek Orthodox Church, a recognized historical monument by the municipality of Bucharest, a place of spiritual community and gathering of the Hellenic diaspora each Sunday.
The Church combines harmoniously two traditions: externally, the Ionian temple; internally, the Byzantine basilica.
FHC is a nonpolitical, nonprofit association registered in Bucharest, Romania. Its scope is to cover the operating expenses of the church liturgies, support the upkeep and general maintenance of the church building and grounds, insure this historical, listed monument and extend the Church’s outreach to the community it serves.
Funding for this work is through member contributions, donations, endowments, and fund-raising. All officers and volunteers contribute their time and offer resources for free.
Transparency is a cornerstone value. We embody this in our objectives, strategy and plans, and financial management. To find out more about our articles of incorporation, by-laws, short-term objectives, and stewardship of your trust, we invite you to take a journey through this section.
