St. John Cares

We hope this message finds you well. At St. John Armenian Church, we believe that the strength of our faith is expressed in our ability to lift each other up. With this in mind, we are excited to introduce the St. John Cares initiative, an ongoing project designed to provide critical support to Armenian parishes in the provinces that are in need.

Have you ever walked into St. John on a cold day and asked yourself, “I wonder how the heating bill is going to be paid,” or “Will the lights be working in the Sunday School today?” Likely not. But in our motherland, there are many active parishes in rural areas that have to ask those questions every day.

We kindly ask you to consider contributing to this important cause. Together, we can ensure that these churches in Armenia receive the care and resources they need to continue serving their communities. To donate, please use the form below or make a donation from your Donor Advised Fund or in lieu of an IRA/401(k) Required Minimum Distribution. Contact our offices for more information.
