Confession & Holy Communion
At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body. Do this in remembrance of me.’ Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.’ We all fall short of the high calling of Christianity; thus, we need the sacrament of Holy Communion to express our remorse and our desire to return to the path that leads to God.
Yughakin
The Yughakin offering is a special donation made at Christmas time to help defray the costs of operating our Church. “Yughakin” literally means the “price for the oil” and in ancient times meant a donation for the purchase of oil to keep the lamps of the Church lit. In recent times the Church uses the Yughakin donation to cover the church operational expenses throughout the year. During the Christmas Season, please remember St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church with your Yughakin gift. You may donate via our church website: www.stsarkischurchsd.com
Home Blessing
The Home Blessing Service is one of the most ancient and revered traditions of the Armenian Church. Our parish priest, Very Rev. Fr. Pakrad Berjekian would be glad to visit your home at your convenience. The three necessary items to conduct this service are: water, bread, and salt. For the traditional Christmas Home Blessing or a Home Blessing any time during the year, please call 619-284-7179 to make arrangements.
