All Welcome to Join New Rochelle Walkers at St. Nersess
Back in New Rochelle, the afternoon will begin with a light lunch and prayer at 1:00PM followed by the walk throughout the neighboring streets of the Seminary at 2:00PM. Fr. Daniel, the seminarians, Deacon Levon, Michelle, and members of the Board of Directors will all have their walking shoes on.
"We look forward to the Walk for Faith every year because it rallies our friends to raise funds for St. Nersess by asking even non-Armenian friends and neighbors to make a modest gift to the Seminary of five or ten dollars," Fr. Findikyan said. "We hope that this year's iPad incentive will encourage even more walkers to participate."
The financial goal is to raise a minimum of $25,000. "I have no doubt that we can realize this goal through our motivated youth and supporters of St. Nersess who have benefitted from all that the Seminary has given to them through the years," said Seminary Board Treasurer Steve Mekenian confidently.
