Cultural and Entertainment Committees

Celebrating Armenian heritage and bringing our community together

About Our Committee

The Cultural Committee of St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church works to present and promote Armenian culture, heritage, and traditions — both past and present — through rich educational, engaging, and interactive events.

Our aim is to spark the interest of church members, guests, and youth in the deep-rooted ancient Armenian culture, and to encourage them to further explore and deepen their knowledge of it.
