Contact me anytime. Fr. Basil.
Do you feel a calling?
Do you... have a desire to share your love for Christ with others?
hold firm in love the faith of the Catholic Church?

desire to embrace the Cross of Christ for the salvation of souls?
feel called to follow in the footsteps of:
Saint Gregory the Illuminator
Saint Blaise
Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop
Saint Gregory of Narek
Blessed Ignatius Maloyan (Bishop and Martyr 1915)
and others as a disciple of Jesus?
If your answer includes a ‘yes’, or if you want to learn more about our way of life as an Armenian Priest, Nun or religious person, we would love to hear from you.
You may have read many books and articles, perhaps talked to family and friends or other people about this calling. I am sure there are many questions you are thinking about.
I encourage all young Australian-Armenian men and women to also approach me with full confidence for an accurate and appropriate information without obligation or judgement. Feel free to discuss what you are thinking and I will be more than happy to guide and assist you in finding your way.
Serve your community in Australia and around the world.
Serve your community and be rewarded in your life like our previous priests, Father Serge Ouzounian,
Father Anton Totonjian, the visiting priests and our current parish priest Father Parsegh (Basil) Sousanian,
who looks after our spiritual needs, and all the Bishops, clergy, Nuns and parish helpers all around the world and Armenia.

Blessed Ignatius Maloyan
Bishop and Martyr Armenian Genocide 1915
Archbishop Ignatius Maloyan, who died a martyr when he was 46, reminds us of every Christian's spiritual combat, whose faith is exposed to the attacks of evil.
