St. John Armenian Orthodox Church of San Francisco celebrated the feast of Holy translators on Sunday, October 10, 2021, with the observance of the Divine Liturgy celebrated by Abp Hovnan Derderian, primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church with the assistance of Fr. Mesrop Ash, parish priest, and dedicated altar servers and choir members.

We confirm and regret that due to the continuance of the COVID-19 Pandemic, St. John Armenian Church once again will not be holding its annual Food Festival this October. We hope to return next year in 2022 and offer our other annual events and festivities as mandates and guidelines permit.

Since 2014 St. John Armenian Church has worked closely with the Army Chaplaincy mission of the Armenian Church. At the outset of the recent war to defend Artsakh, we ramped up our support for this vital program to help our chaplains serve the soldiers. We are proud to announce that with the support of our community we have raised $40,000 to support the Chaplaincy Program of the Armenian Church. With this milestone we are wrapping up this impactful program, having helped our chaplains serve soldiers from 9 battalions throughout Armenia and Artsakh. 

Due to your generous donations over the past couple months, the ACYO Outreach Program has raised over $6,000.

Phase 1 and 2 consisted of donating money directly to families within the Bay Area for housing and food.
