We are happy to announce that the 2014/2015 Sunday School year begins September 14 on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Students will meet in the Ashjian Room, and checkin. They will join the Divine Liturgy and take communion, then Fr. Mesrop will offer a special sermon on the occasion. Afterwards, the students will participate in the Day's special Antasdan service, and take a group photo.

The St. John Internship Program started on Tuesday, July 1st. Ever since then we have gained more hard working interns. The interns registered for this summer are Andrew Boghossian, Enrike Kaltakhtchyan, Josiah Kazarian, Alex Kouyoumdjian, Gayana Saakyan, Allen Torchiyan and Alex Tour Sarkissian. St. John Internship is twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday. Lunch is provided and it is a good way for the St. John youth and young adults to obtain new skills.

Summer this year at St.John has been an awesome and cool time so far. We have participated in Christina Ardemis’s Organize and Thrive event, St. John Family Night and the most exciting so far, Lost and Found in Armenia.

We are pleased to announce that this year over 16 youth from St. John Armenian Church will attend Hey camp during the second and fourth week sessions. Fr. Mesrop Ash will be the camp chaplain for both weeks.  We wish them a happy and safe trip.  Campers will take with them choregs baked by our own ladies. Yum!

For those parents that have applied for camp scholarships, the Scholarship Committee will review them and inform the recipients throughout the month of June.
