Mission Armenia (Page 3)

St. Hagop has always had a mission to assist in the building up of our Armenian homeland and deepening our Christian fellowship with our ethnic kin. Over the years, we have carried out this mission by supporting several established programs, along with more direct and personal support through pilgrimages to Armenia and resulting partnerships. The goal of the Mission Armenia committee is to advise St. Hagop in a transition from anonymous aid to Armenia through well-established non-profits, to smaller projects with minimal overhead, direct beneficiary contact and potential for longer-term partnerships. Contact Yn. Anna Demerjian for more information.
