Building Committee

Dear Parishioners:
The following is a brief summary of the work performed by your Building Committee in Year 2016:
  1. Completed the construction and installation of the handicap lift; and
  2. Completed the renovation of the AYF Meeting Room.
The final project for the committee is the construction of the steeple. In December, 2016, the committee retained Joel Silverwatch, Architect AIA, of Windham, New Hampshire to provide preliminary designs, engineering and other support necessary for the construction of the steeple. We are considering various factors in the steeple’s design, including but not limited to its appearance, characteristics of an Armenian Church steeple, cost, and potential monetary assistance through government funding. We will give updates on the steeple and fundraising as they become available.

To date, renovations have totaled approximately $1,800,000.00 throughout the last 10 years without incurring any debt or accessing any of the Church’s operating or other funds.

In closing, the committee thanks each of you for your generosity and support throughout the years, without which our work would not have been possible. Also, I would like to personally thank each of the committee members for their steadfast commitment to serving our Church in this capacity.

Sincerely,

Richard Shahtanian, Chairman - Building Committee
