Liturgy, Luncheon and Lecture
HOLLYWOOD, FL – Upon the invitation of Fr. Vartan Joulfayan, Pastor of St. Mary Armenian Church, the V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, Director of Zohrab & Clara Information Center in New York, celebrated the Divine Liturgy and delivered the homily on Sunday, November 6th.
Rev. Fr. Vartan shared the Bible story with the children. Following the Liturgy, Khashlama luncheon was sponsored and served by the Kocharyan family. Assisting in the preparation of the luncheon were, Suren & Hasmik Hairapetyan.
After the luncheon, Fr. Findikyan made a power-point presentation and delivered a very enlightening and highly educational lecture. The topic of the lecture was: “The Holy Martyrs of the Armenian Genocide: From Victims to Victors.”
All parishioners and children had a blessed day, enjoyed the luncheon and listened to the illuminating and very interesting lecture, which gave knowledge and understanding of the meaning of martyrdom and sanctification, holiness and ultimate sacrifice for the love of Jesus Christ to inherit the kingdom of God.
