Feast of our Lady of the Assumption
Sunday 15 August 2010.

Dear parishioners the feast of our church is upon us once again and we are preparing as a community to celebrate this most important feast of our church in the traditional way. We all thank our Lady for all her graces that she had blessed us with, during the past twelve months. It is, in a way, our church’s “mother day”, and don’t we all honour mothers on our mother’s day?
There will also be the blessing of the grapes ceremony and as usual those who wish to donate the grapes please contact the Church.

Annual Bazaar 15 August 2010.
All our parishioners are invited on this feast day to take part in our annual bazaar; The bazaar will be declared open immediately after the holy mass. Many surprises await you including our famous Armenian “kebab”. There will also be games and entertainment for all especially for the children. We all hope to see all there so that the day can be a truly family fun filled day.


Annual Dinner Dance
 - Saturday 23 October2010
Entertainment on the night will be provided by our one and only “Karnig” who will as usual delight us with his past and contemporary songs and music. Tickets will be on sale soon and please notify your family members and friends so that you may be able to secure your tables in advance.

Khachkar  - Traditional Armenian Stone Cross

Khachkar or Cross-Stone is the unique manifestation of Christian Armenian national art which in its Christian form and type has no other equivalent in the world. Khachkars constitute an integral dimension of Armenian sculptural art; with their high artistic standards and strong national character, they also occupy their worthy position in the treasury of international art. Khachkars are also an expression of the Christian faith and high esthetics taste of the Armenian nation, nation that was first to officially adopt the Christian faith in the year 301 of Our Lord Saviour. Recently in the deep respect and commemoration of the Khachkar by the International community, a Khachkar was placed in the front entrance of the Main Hall of the United Nations in New York.
