Harry and Edna Keleshian Make Major Donation to St. Nersess Expansion

The future home of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary in Armonk New York, will include the Arsen Keleshian Dining Hall. The construction of this new dining room is made possible through the generous donation from Harry and Edna Keleshian, in memory of their son Arsen who passed away in 2012. The Arsen Keleshian Dining Hall will serve as a key gathering destination for seminarians, faculty, guests, and summer youth program participants. Arsen will always be remembered for participating in the St. Nersess summer sessions during the late 1980s.

Harry and Edna Keleshian, of Greenwich CT and Boca Raton FL, have generously donated to numerous Armenian Church initiatives over the years. When presented with the idea of financially supporting the expansion of St. Nersess Seminary's new campus and mission, the Keleshians did not hesitate to commit their support. "It is critically important that we have clergy who are well educated, well spoken, and willing to put their arms around the youth in the Armenian American community,” said Harry Keleshian. Mr. Keleshian further commented, “Thanks to Father Mardiros, Arsen always felt this warmth and a deeper faith while at St. Nersess.”
 
Under the leadership of its new Dean, the Rev. Fr. Mardiros Chevian, St. Nersess Seminary has opened the 2013-2014 academic year with nine full time seminarians in its student body. As the only Armenian seminary in the western hemisphere, St. Nersess has produced 40 priests and laypeople in full-time service to the Armenian Church over the past 50 years. In addition to providing post graduate theological study, St. Nersess has expanded its mission to include research and educational opportunities for exchange faculty and students from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, as well as extended study programs in our seminaries in Armenia and Jerusalem to strengthen the Armenian education of our American born seminarians. Another important mission is providing acclimation and acculturation support and training for Armenian priests from abroad who will serve in North American dioceses.
 
The new campus construction project has been made possible through an initial donation by Haig and Elza Didizian of London, England. The Didizians and their children have funded not only the land purchase but also the construction of a new Theological Center and Chapel. Fundraising for the remaining buildings on the Armonk campus is ongoing and in need of support from the greater Armenian community.

Don't Miss an Evening Under the Stars

St. Nersess Armenian Seminary will host its final Evening Under the Stars Benefit Reception and Silent Auction on its current New Rochelle campus, before moving to its new Armonk campus in mid-2014. Guests will gather on Saturday, September 28, under an elegant candlelit tent, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, live music, and warm camaraderie, all while supporting the ongoing mission and operation of the seminary, including youth programming.



Now in its 6th year, the Stars event will be the biggest one yet. According to Anoush Givelekian, this year’s Stars chairperson, who assumed the role from Yn. Paulette Doudoukjian, the event founder, “Guests will re-connect with old friends, meet new ones and celebrate the successes of the seminary. I have had the good fortune of being personally connected with St. Nersess for 15 years”. There will also be an extensive silent auction which will be available to all on the seminary website, and to those in attendance. “We have amazing supporters of the seminary who have donated sports tickets, camp sessions, incredible food, travel and entertainment items, home furnishings, gifts, and services, and more,” says Alyssa Keleshian Bonomo, this year’s silent auction chairperson. Bidding will open online at www.stnersess.edu starting September 20 and will remain open for both reception attendees and those from afar on home computers until bidding closes promptly at 10:00 the evening of September 28. The highest bidders for each item will be announced near the conclusion of the reception.

“This reception has become a highly-anticipated and important fundraiser for the Seminary,” said Board member, Suzanne Akian, adding, “It is an outstanding way for anyone whose life has been positively impacted by St. Nersess, to give back to this most valuable institution to the Armenian Church here in America. And all while having a wonderful evening under the stars with good friends.”

The annual benefit reception will begin at 7:30 p.m., after an Evening Vesper service in the chapel starting at 7 p.m. Past St. Nersess Summer Conference volunteers will greet and serve guests, adding to the long standing connection everyone shares with the seminary. Those enjoying the evening can look forward to hearing from these young adults as they, as well as the Seminary Dean, the Rev. Fr. Mardiros Chevian, and Board members, speak about the past achievements, ongoing successes, and exciting future of the seminary.
 
Donation to attend is $75 per person. Don’t miss an incredible evening with your St. Nersess friends on September 28! Click here for invitation, or Click here to download the RSVP form.
