We love Annunciation because of the people we have met who have become lifelong friends and the sense of community we have with Annunication. When we moved to South Minneapolis we did not have any family near us and Annunciation was the family community that we sought and is our rock as we grow in faith. We love our Annunciation family!

Septemberfest is the largest community gathering all year! We need your participation to make this year’s festival a huge success! The best way to participate is to volunteer.
