On Wednesday, October 23, our Women’s Guild members gathered for a memorable and spiritually enriching day hosted by His Grace Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan, Primate of our Diocese, at the Diocesan Center. This special event, “Tea with the Bishop,” brought together the Women’s Guild of our church and the Women’s Guild of Holy Martyrs Armenian Church, Bayside, NY.
The day commenced with a beautiful worship service at St. Vartan Cathedral, where participants united in prayer and thanksgiving, lifting their hearts in a powerful expression of faith and community.
Following the service, Dn. Jesse Arlen, Director of the Zohrab Center, led an inspiring tour through our magnificent Cathedral and the Diocesan Center. Dn. Jesse shared the rich history, spiritual symbolism, and cultural significance of these cherished spaces, offering everyone a deeper appreciation of our heritage.
The day concluded with a delightful tea fellowship, where the Primate and attendees shared warm stories, laughter, and the love that binds our communities. It was a day of reflection, connection, and spiritual nourishment—an occasion to remember and cherish.
