Our 2026 Honoree:
Michael G. Pappas, M.Div.

During his 16-year ministry as an ordained priest of the Greek Orthodox Church, Michael served parishes in Palos Hills, IL, Stockton, CA, and San Francisco, CA, and devoted energy to work with the homeless and further ecumenical and interfaith relationships. After transitioning from parish ministry in 2007, he was selected by the San Francisco Interfaith Council for the newly created administrative post of Executive Director.

In his tenure as Executive Director, Michael has helped to substantially increase the Council’s budget and programs; strengthened existing and cultivated new relationships with civic leaders, NGOs, judicatories and congregations; and significantly projected the SFIC through expanded use of technology.

Please join us in honoring Michael's leadership, dedication, and passion for the most vulnerable members of our community
