ABOUT US

 

“The Armenians. A Proud People. A Proud Heritage.“


Our History:


The Armenian history dates back over 2,500 years. Armenians were the first to accept Christianity officially in 301 AD. In order to preserve our traditions, our land and our identity, the Armenians have had to struggle constantly throughout centuries.


Today, over half of the world's Armenian population lives outside of Armenia, and the largest and most influential group is here, in the United States.


The Armenian Church is officially called Armenian Apostolic Church, for the very simple reason that Christianity was made known in Armenia by two of the apostles of the Lord, Thaddeus and Bartholomew. Their work was later followed by the sacrifice of many Christians.

 

 

Our Goals:

  • To carry on the Armenian heritage, both past and present, and to tell the story of the Armenian people.

  • To promote national culture and contributions of the Armenian people, their history and
    traditions.

  • To help all people to unity with God and each other

  • To reach out to all those who belong to our parish, those who are disappointed or those who have drifted away and those who hove no home for their faith
