2026 Living the Church Year as a Family Calendar: 

A Monthly Guide for Prayer, Worship, and Service.

This guide has been thoughtfully designed to help families deepen their faith and strengthen their connection to the life of the Armenian Church throughout the year. Each month offers meaningful and flexible opportunities for prayer, worship, Scripture reading, and acts of service that families can adapt to their unique circumstances, whether they include young children, teenagers, or adults.

An Appeal for Our Armenian American Veterans Building

Since 1963, the Armenian American Veterans Building has housed the many needs and interests of our community, from bridge classes to basketball games, Senior Lunch to ACYOA meetings, and even as a temporary sanctuary during our recent church renovations. Today, this community gem that has given us so much needs our help.

St. John needs you to join the crowd and support the Armenian American Veterans' Building renovation project, giving for the future to honor our past.
