History

Established: 1957
Consecrated: April 3—4, 1965

Sanctuary: The parish owns its permanent sanctuary, which is not the original one. The previous sanctuary was housed in the church auditorium, which was on the church property from 1961-65. After building the auditorium in 1961, the parish built a parsonage in 1963, a church complex in 1964, a kitchen, classrooms, and a youth room in 1985. Major benefactors include Mr. and Mrs. Garbis Kirikian, Dr. and Mrs. Harout Mekhjian, and Mr. Rupen Saddler.

Important Events: Catholicos Vazken I blessed the church property on July 24, 1960; the formal opening of the auditorium was January 29, 1961. In March, 1986, the parish dedicated the Rupen and Leon Saddler Hall, Mekhjian Atrium, Topjian Kitchen Wing, and Kirikian Armenian School areas.
