As the year winds down, the Diocese’s “virtual parish visitations” continue to go forward, bringing Primate Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan together with the leadership of our local parishes.

A meeting with St. Gregory of Narek Church of Cleveland, OH, led by pastor Fr. Hratch Sargsyan, took place on November 16. Once more, parish council members and Diocesan delegates took part in the 90-minute meeting, as did Diocesan Vicar Fr. Simeon Odabashian. Acting as facilitator was Diocesan Council member Alex Topakbashian.

So far this year, more than 25 parishes have met with the Primate in this way. The schedule of “virtual visitations” will continue through the end of the year.
