In Memory of Der Vartan Kassabian

Dear Parishioners, Friends and Supporters,
As follow-up to our previous communication regarding our visiting pastoral support and services, I am pleased to inform you that Der Vazken Bekiarian will continue to serve our community, as a visiting pastor. As such his service to our community will include Devine Liturgy, visitations with those in need and also be available for sacraments and church functions as per our Church calendar. In the near term, Der Vazken will perform Badarak every Sunday throughout the month of June, at which time we will alternate to every other Sunday for the months of July and August. This is typically a slower time with holidays and vacations. During July and August our deacons will perform morning services on the alternating Sundays.
At this time the Board is able to provide an updated schedule of Services for the summer months.

Morning Prayer of the Sunrise Hour (Arevakal)
O Beneficent and abundantly merciful God, in thine unforgetting knowledge and infinite love of mankind be mindful of all that believe in You and have mercy upon us. Help us and deliver us from our perils and trials. Make us worthy to give You thanks and Glorify thee, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Evening Prayer of Vespers: (Yeregoyan)
Hope of life and reciever of our prayers, forgiver of our sins and fulfiller of our petitions, O Christ our God, recieve our prayers in this the hour of the evening through the intercessions of the Holy Mother of God the ever Blessed Holy Virgin Mary and all of Thy Saints. Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, forgive, expiate, and remit our sins. Make us worthy to give Thee Thanks and to glorify Thee with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen. |
