Western Diocese

The construction progress during the past few months has been significant. The Armenian travertine on the exterior façade of the Church is now complete and the interior wall textures are being prepared in a smooth texture and will be painted soon. 

The Parish Council approved the construction committee recommendation for an electrical lift system, which has been installed, for the main dome chandelier, in order to ensure accessibility for future maintenance. Finished lighting, electrical and plumbing is in the process of being installed, and the installation of the interior flooring will begin within the next few weeks.

The construction committee has been obtaining bids and ordering several interior items that will be necessary to complete the Church's interior. Work will soon begin on the marble Altar, Baptismal Font, Narthex door and candle areas. The Parish Council is also in the process of making a decision on pews within the next few weeks.

Efforts continue towards raising additional funds to complete the required site work in order to obtain an occupancy permit for use of the new Church. In addition to the previous donor opportunities that are available, a wish list for needed interior items is now available to help with furnishing the inside of the Church.  Please contact Fr. Krikor Zakaryan or a Parish Council member for more information on donor opportunities.

Your generous donations will help to ensure the completion of the Church and interior, in order to be ready for the scheduled Dedication of the Church in October and the Consecration of the Church in early February.
