About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

Please join the Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral for an entertaining evening of delicious Lebanese food, a silent auction, and live classical music in support of our building improvement projects!

Prior to the pandemic we successfully completed a capital campaign to install an elevator in our building. We are now continuing our fundraising efforts to improve our church hall for our parish and the wider community’s use through projects such as improving the acoustics in our hall and adding an accessible washroom. All proceeds will go towards these fundraising goals.

We are excited to be hosting this event at El Mazaj restaurant - visit their website for a preview of some of the amazing food you will get to enjoy at our event! (Allergies and dietary restrictions can be accomodated - please include details when you purchase your ticket.) Your ticket includes unlimited soft drinks, coffee, and tea.

See photos from our 2019 gala below and join our Facebook event for updates on this year's silent auction items and other exciting details!

Tickets are also available for purchase by cash or card at the Cathedral on Sundays at coffee hour.

The Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral is a Christian Orthodox church located in the heart of Ottawa’s Chinatown. We are a growing and diverse congregation with an active schedule of services, frequent social events, and a history of community engagement. We are a registered Canadian charity (BN 884003708RR0001) that relies on the generosity of our parish and community to maintain our building, premises and activities.
