For the past 54 years the men of St. John Armenian Church have cooked and served breakfast for our mothers on Mother’s Day.

This year was no exception, Sunday, May 11, the hall was decorated with flowers, and one could inhale the aroma of the coffee, and famous French Toast in the Paul Family Fellowship Hall.

It was a perfect family environment and mother’s day present when mothers, grandmothers joined their families for a delicious breakfast.

On Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Fr. Mesrop was with students and faculty from KZV Armenian school at the Mt. Davidson Cross, where they had a cultural program to pay their respects to the Genocide Martyrs by placing flower.

St. John ladies gathered together to learn more about fasting and Great Lent. The first session started at 10:30 led by Fr. Sarkis.
