Parish Council
The Parish Council is the governing body elected by parish members to guide the parish in its spiritual, educational and financial endeavors, in cooperation with the pastor.
Parish Council members form a team dedicated to the mission of maintaining the church as a source and center of Christian teachings and life. They strive to make the church a place where all Armenian Christians congregate to participate in worship, learning, fellowship and service, and receive spiritual solace, strength, joy, hope, and forgiveness.
While the pastor is charged with the ultimate responsibility of meeting the spiritual and Armenian educational needs of the church community, the Parish Council may assist him in several of his duties as chief administrator.
Current (as of 2022) Parish Council Members include Harry Derasadourian, Art Simonian (Treasurer), Gary Hovhanessian(Chairperson)*, Dn. Matthew Cannata, John Abrahamian(Secretary), Paul Marottolo(Vice Chair)*, John Maljanian, Jr.(Asst. Treasurer)*
*Newly Elected or Re-Elected
