A unique and elegant benefit reception will once again be held on the scenic grounds of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary in New Rochelle, New York. Details are being finalized now for the fourth annual Evening Under the Stars on Saturday, September 24.
“This gathering provides the opportunity to support the most vital institution for the future of the Armenian Church in North America,” said V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, Seminary Dean, adding, “Old friends and new come together to mix and mingle while learning about the ongoing and future endeavors of St. Nersess. This year is especially significant as the Seminary is in the midst of its 50th anniversary commemoration.”
RSVP NOW for this year's Evening Under the Stars.
Last year’s event drew nearly 150 people who gathered under an elegant candlelit tent on the back patio of the Seminary building.
Seminary Like Family
First-time attendee, Mona Khorozian of Fort Lee, NJ, had nothing but praise for last year's event. “I thought the evening was wonderful. There was a very relaxed atmosphere with a host of people that were so welcoming. I felt that it was family I was spending the evening with.” Mona and her husband Raffi have already committed to attending this year’s reception.
Proceeds to Support Seminary's Operation and Ministries
