In April 2013, the Sayat Nova Cultural Committee of St. John Armenian Church organized a concert in honor the Holy Priesthood of the Armenian Church on the occasion of the First Anniversary of the Ordination of Fr. Mesrop Ash. Thanks to the generousity of our parishoners who supported this event, a donation was given to the Paros Foundation to provide much needed pianos for the Kanakervan Art School in Armenia. The Paros Foundation has just reported that these pianos have been purchased and installed in the school. Watch the video and follow the link below for more information.

On Wednesday morning, Bay Area Armenians were pleasantly surprised to hear a fun and thoughtful story about our community, our annual Food Festival, our culture and faith aired on KQED. The story, by Rachael Myrow, was made possible by the facilitation of Food Festival committee member Elise Kazanjian and with the support of Mrs. Amelia Surabian. St. John parish thanks all involved in bringing this story about.

We are happy to announce that beginning in October, Armenian Language classes will be held every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm. Community members are welcome to join this class, free of charge and learn about how to read, write and speak Armenian. This class will also be an opportunity to gain knowledge about Armenian culture, such as poetry.

Register for the class online, or call the church office at (415) 661-1142.

Community members, we can use your help at the Food Festival, out biggest event of the year! If anyone wishes to volunteer please call the office 415-661-1142, and we will schedule the time and the volunteer area at your request.
