Our Mission

As daughters of the Armenian Apostolic Church of the Holy Etchmiadzin, and as bearers of the Holy Cross as a symbol of our faith, we recommit ourselves to be true followers of Christ, guided by the examples set before us by the blessed Virgin Mary and by Saint Ashkhen, Saint Gayane, Saint Hripsime to name a few of the many martyred women saints of our Christian Heritage

Bound in our faith, we are committed to guide, to encourage, to support, to educate and to supervise the indoctrination of values within our culture and our church through servitude and benevolence.

As daughters and followers of the doctrines set before us, we commit ourselves to the responsibility to serve our church, our culture, and our Christian Heritage with strength in the performance of our duties, courage in the line of adversity, and compassion and humility in our persona.

“We express our deep appreciation to the Ladies Society of St. Leon Ghevontiants Armenian Cathedral, chaired by Mrs. Angela Parseghian for your continued selfless service and unrelenting dedication. May the Good Lord bless and protect you all.”
