URGENT APPEAL
Please help a fellow Armenian - Irene Hamptian Katrandjian - who is suffering from an aggressive form of blood cancer. At this point, her only chance for a cure is to receive a stem cell transplant. In order to perform this procedure, the doctors need a donor who is a genetic match, but currently there are no registered donors that qualify.
Anyone can be a match. Joining the "Be the Match" registry is simple and requires only a cotton swab sample of cheek cells from the inside of your mouth. If you are a match, your participation could mean the gift of life to someone.
In order to join:
You must be 18-60 years old.
If you are a match, you will be asked to donate peripheral blood.
The recipient of the match, NOT the donor, incurs all costs
Because of her Armenian ethnicity, Irene has a better chance of finding a match from our community.
For more information on how to be a donor contact online at:

This Sunday, July 11, is the Transfiguration of our Lord (Vartavar),
one of the five major feast days in the Armenian Church calendar.
The faithful and friends of our parish will join millions of Armenians around the world on Sunday, July 11 celebrating the Feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus our Lord.
The story is told in the Gospel of Matthew 17:1-13. It narrates a dramatic event in the ministry of our Lord, and a turning point in the history of God’s revelation. Three of His disciples followed Jesus to the top of a mountain (Tabor or Thabor).
There, Jesus was transfigured in their presence and
“His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.”
This was accompanied by the appearance of the prophets Moses and Elijah, two important pillars in the history of God’s revelation.
Furthermore, a divine voice was heard from heaven confirming the divinity of Jesus, and commanding the disciples to adhere to Jesus’ teachings. Thus, the feast obviously is a celebration of the revelation of Christ’s divinity. Jesus’ transfiguration, needless to say, is the foundation of our hope of the transfiguration of our life.
