HAOC will be adding a 'HAOC Parish Business Directory' page to our website.


In an effort to help create a stronger parish community and encourage supporting business in our community, we are putting together this list of professional services and individuals offered by our parishioners.


The directory will consist of parishioner-owned businesses and professional services.


With the directory we will be able to find businesses within Holy Annunciation, be able to support them, use their services, and recommend their services to our friends and family.


If you would like to be part of this directory, please send through your business contact details (and logo if you would like) to: admin@holyannunciation.net
