Dear Parishioners and Friends,

By the blessing and directive of the Primate of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, His Grace Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan, St. Mary Armenian Church will join parishes throughout the Diocese in offering a special Order of Prayer for the 250th Anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America.

The prayer service will take place at the end of Sunday Badarak on June 14, coinciding with the national observance of Flag Day.

As our country approaches the historic 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we gather in gratitude to God for the blessings America has bestowed upon generations of Armenians, providing refuge, opportunity, and freedom. Through this special service of thanksgiving, we will pray for our country, its leaders, and all its citizens, asking God to continue guiding America in the pursuit of justice, peace, and prosperity.

All faithful are warmly invited to participate in this meaningful observance and join us in offering prayers for our beloved country.

Fr. Voskan Hovhannisyan and the Parish Council of St. Mary Armenian Church
