In a month, 35 pilgrims will be flying off to Armenia for the 2018 parish pilgrimage. On July 7, Fr. Abraham and Aram Ciamician led an orientation which was attended by excited travelers. Attendees were asked to introduce themselves and share their reasons for going on this pilgrimage.  In addition, the program covered topics such as cities and sights that will be visited, weather in Armenia during the trip, and promotional videos of the country were shown to the group.  The trip will span 2 weeks in Armenia and pilgrims will travel to every part of the country including overnight stays in Yerevan, Lori, Lake Sevan, Artsakh, and Jermuk.
