Mission:
Annunciation Parish exists, not for itself, but for the mission of Christ: to bring about the Kingdom of God through worship, education, and service to our members and to the full body of Christ.

We strive to console, heal, and minister, in and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

History:
Annunciation has its roots in the early 1940s, when St. Ann's Church in Tenley Circle was too small for its congregation and there was a major population boom in the Washington DC area. In 1937, Michael J. Curley, the Archbishop of Baltimore, purchased the property that the Church and School presently sit on. However, because of the war effort, construction could not be accomplished. Therefore, he bought an already erected church structure from Our Lady of Lourdes parish in Bethesda and was opened as the mission "Church of the Annunciation" on Sunday, July 11, 1943. The name was chosen by Archbishop Curley but may have been suggested by the first pastor, Rev. Russell Phelan.
