Dear St. Mary Parishioners and Friends,
As we reflect on the success of our 13th Annual St. Mary Armenian Food Festival, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous families, individuals, and businesses who helped make this year's festival possible.
Our annual festival is more than a celebration of Armenian food, music, and traditions. It is an opportunity to come together as a parish family, share our Armenian heritage with the broader community, strengthen old friendships, and welcome new faces into the life of our Church.
None of this would be possible without the generosity and commitment of our sponsors and donors. Your contributions helped bring the festival to life, from the entertainment and children's activities to the food and hospitality that made the weekend so memorable. More importantly, your support helps sustain the ongoing mission and ministry of St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church.
