Prelate’s New Year And Christmas Message
Once again we find ourselves at the threshold of a new year and preparing to celebrate the Glorious Birth and Theophany of our Lord Jesus Christ. What better way to begin the season than to take a moment and contemplate with gratitude all that Almighty God has granted us, and reflect on the truly profound meaning of the “Great and Marvelous Mystery”, the Birth of our Savior.
A Call to the Armenian Relief Society
Zaruhi has been laid to rest, but her death has raised fundamental questions concerning human rights and gender equality of women in Armenia. It is a poor response by those who claim women are treated no differently in Armenia compared to other countries. How can we justify our probable shortcomings by citing similar shortcomings common to other countries? Doing so would set a very low standard by which to evaluate the value system and future goals of Armenia.

Critics Forum: The Year That Was (Not)
Hard to believe, but for the first nine months of the past year, Armenian theater in Southern California practically did not exist. It seemed as if all its key producers – aside from the Ardavazt Theater Company, which revived a pair of one-acts – had decided to stage … their own disappearance. Indeed, finding an Armenian play proved about as likely as encountering a unicorn.
Supporting and Sustaining Armenia’s Artisans

Ararat Charter School’s Third Graders Visit The Los Angeles Mission
The Los Angeles Mission provides help, hope, and opportunity to those in need. On December 14 Ararat Charter School’s third graders took a trip to the LA Mission to serve food to and lift the spirits of the homeless. There is no better way to spend this holiday season than to give to those in need. Giving doesn’t equate to money alone. One can donate time and support, pass on a kind gesture or word and still be giving someone something they desperately need. The students at Ararat Charter School did just that.
