Your Support Makes All the Difference.
Over the past year, our mission of preparing the next generation of priests and lay ministers, which impacts every Armenian Church parish in America, has not wavered. Despite the challenges we all faced due to the pandemic, we continued to deliver classroom instruction and worship services for the seminarians. Additionally, lectures for the public, as well as summer conferences for high school students and deacons’ training were offered virtually. We remain steadfast in providing a center of learning and inspiration for our students, clergy, and current and future community leaders. All of this becomes possible because of the thoughtful and dedicated support from you. We are grateful for the confidence that you have in our work and mission and for making the education and training of our seminarians a part of your charitable giving. You make all the difference with a donation, in any amount, to St. Nersess. Thank you for your continued support by making a donation today.
