The Diocese’s mission parish in Kansas City, MO–St. Garabed Armenian Church–welcomed Armenian Cultural Month with a special observance of the Feast of the Discovery of the Holy Cross, and a presentation on milestones of the Armenian cultural heritage.
On this day, November 11, 2025, the Eastern Diocese remembers those who have served, fought, and sacrificed in war.
Parishioners of Sts. Vartanantz Church of Chelmsford, MA, recently gathered to joyfully celebrate the 20th ordination anniversary of their pastor, Fr. Khachatur Kesablyan.
Around this time of year, our church prescribes a Scripture reading from the Gospel of Luke, concerning a tragedy in a family household. A man named Jairus and his wife had a daughter, and this girl—only 12 years old—lay dying in their home.
Every year, a Saturday in early November brings us to one of the more unusual observances of the Armenian Church calendar: the feast day dedicated to the holy archangels Michael and Gabriel. We’ll greet it again this weekend, on November 8.
