Last week, St. John Armenian Church joyfully welcomed children for its first Bible Day Camp—a week filled with prayer, learning, service, Armenian culture, and friendship. Centered on the Holy Trinity and the Church, the camp invited children to discover that faith is not only something we learn about, but something we pray, sing, serve, and live together.
St. John welcomed Archbishop Hovnan Derderian on June 14 for a joyful parish visit that included the ordination of two altar servers and a special recognition of Yn. Betty Sempadian.
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, St. John celebrated Father's Day with its very first Car Show following the Divine Liturgy. After enjoying a delicious hot dog lunch graciously hosted by the St. John Parish Council, everyone gathered in the parking lot to admire the beautiful vehicles on display. The event brought our community together to celebrate Father's Day with fellowship, laughter, photos, and fun for all ages.

Following the church service, parishioners were welcomed to a beautiful brunch prepared with love and dedication by a hardworking group of volunteers.
The Paul Family Fellowship Hall was beautifully decorated with flowers, and the tables were arranged with elegance and care, creating a warm and festive atmosphere for everyone in attendance.

The Healing Power of Confession
Every Sunday at approximately 9:30 AM, we offer Morning Service prayers at St. John Armenian Church. This peaceful 45-minute service is a beautiful precursor to the Divine Liturgy.
The Morning Service includes several chants, prayers, and litanies unique to the morning office, with prayers and Bible readings offered in English. All faithful are welcome to attend.
