PASTOR'S MESSAGE

The First Illuminators of Armenia

The origin of the Armenian Church dates back to the Apostolic age. According to the ancient tradition well supported by historical evidence, Christianity was preached in Armenia as early as the second half of the first century by the two disciples of Jesus Christ, namely, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew. During the first three centuries, Christianity in Armenia was a hidden religion under heavy Persecution. St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew, who became the first Illuminators of Armenia, were both Martyred in Armenia.

Let us be Thankful

Let us be thankful for the plenteous gifts of our Lord, who in sweet bounty nourishes us day to day of His own will, that He may make His servants share in spiritual goodness and in the heavenly kingdom, according to the expectation of our hope.
St. Garabed Pastor, Delegates, Board of Trustees, and Ladies Auxiliary would like to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and safe Thanksgiving.
