The History of the Archangel Michael Awards 

The Archangel Michael Feast was prayerfully conceived by His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios upon His arrival to Atlanta, as the annual double feast of the Metropolitan family. Since 1998, the Metropolitan family comes together in Atlanta on the weekend of, prior to, or following the November 8th Feast of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. It is to honor and celebrate our Patron Saint and the lives of two parishioners from each parish, who are the living examples of the Orthodox Christian life and journey to Theosis. By extension, this special Metropolis feast is also the annual Metropolitan celebration and thanksgiving for all devout stewards of faith, time and talent, “Who first give themselves to the Lord by the will of God.

Our parish has had many people honored since the inception of these awards and we are proud to have such people among us. They support us with their unwavering desire to make our church better and better. Most of all, they inspire us to seek our own talents and strengths so we can join them as they take on multiple challenges with grace, energy, and from a deep desire to do God's work. 

Our 2023 awards, go to Mary Ladas and George Hamilothoris. Thank you and a well-deserved congratulations for your heartfelt support.
