We are pleased to inform our faithful that with the Grace of God the
Armenian Church of La Canada has successfully competed the acquisition
process of two adjacent properties at 2767 and 2773 Foothill Blvd,
La Crescenta, CA 91214, for the purpose of construction of a church
complex in the near future. There is a small structure on the property
which will be used as the temporary sanctuary of the church until the
construction of the church complex in the near future. The Armenian
Church of La Canada will cater to the spiritual needs of our beloved
faithful residing primarily in La Canada, La Crescenta, Montrose,
Tujunga and Sunland.

On Wednesday March 28, 2009, Rev. Archpriest Fr. Hovsep Hagopian,
Parish Priest, visited the site and blessed the ground of the newly
purchased property. He offered the necessary instruction for the
temporary renovations and hoped that with the Grace of God the parish
would be able to build the church complex.

His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate, during a special
religious ceremony will bless the newly purchased church property
on May 8, 2009, beginning at 8:00 PM, held at the above mentioned
address in La Crescenta, California.

All faithful are invited to participate in this spiritually uplifting
event and the following an admission-free reception.
