Armenia Pilgrimage Registration 2026
AMAZING ARMENIA (June 14 - 28, 2026)
In the center of our liturgical life, in the very center of that time which we measure as a year, we find the Feast of the Resurection of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Resurrection is the appearance in this world, completely dominated by time [and therefore by death], of a life that will have no end.
The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the central events recorded in the gospels. Immediately after the Lord was recognized by his apostles as “the Christ [Messiah], the Son of the Living God,” he told them that "he must go up to Jerusalem and suffer many things ... and be killed and on the third day be raised" [Mt. 16].
St. Sarkis Armenian Orthodox Church was founded by a humble congregation in 1991. Together, we’ve created a community filled with love, support, and fellowship. To help us fulfill our mission of spreading the word and strength of God, we rely on the generosity of our congregation.
Please consider contributing to our cause.
Saint Sarkis Church won Building of the Year!! Thank you to all friends and family for voting for our beautiful church. We won by a 64% landslide!
Winning this prestigious award will help raise awareness for the history of the Armenian Genocide and the current Azerbaijani blockade of 120,000 Armenian people living in Nagorno Karabakh who have no access to food, medicine, or any supplies for almost 60 days now.
Our sincere gratitude and thanks to architect Stepan Terzyan and David Hotson Architects who built us a church home that reflects our rich heritage and a home our children for generations will be proud to share our faith, and beautiful traditions of the Armenian culture.
