Each chapter of the Ladies Society is under the authority
of the Pastor and Parish Council which is within the Western Diocese of the
Armenian Church of North America as recognized by the Catholicos of All
Armenians in Holy Etchmiadzin.
The Ladies Society is to study, practice and propagate the teachings of the
Holy Scripture, doctrines and rites of the Armenian Church, including the
history, traditions and customs of the Armenian Church and its people. We

progress of the Armenian Church.

pleasant atmosphere within the parish and where one and all will work for
the Glory of God.
