St. David Armenian Church Announces New Publication
Boca Raton, FL – On Sunday, March 25, St. David Armenian Church proudly presented a book dedication “Walking Through The Armenian History And Faith”, an instructional handbook authored by our Pastor, Very Reverend Fr. Dr. Nareg Berberian. It is a summary of the Armenian faith, its history, liturgy, theology, traditions and customs.
An enthusiastic introduction was given by Reverend Fr. Garabed Kochakian, Pastor of St. John Armenian Church in Detroit, Michigan who spoke very highly of Fr. Nareg’s ministry as a priest for 20 years, remarking that he has been a great asset to our Diocese. He presented Fr. Nareg’s book as very functional for those who want to learn about their history and traditions outlining important topics to make these connections more easily. It is also a helpful guideline for the teachers and the students of our Sunday School and our Armenian School, as well as college students and adults, and for non-Armenians to familiarize themselves with the Armenian church and its traditions.
Fr. Nareg thanked Fr. Garabed for his thoughtful words of support and Chris Zakian for editing the book, and said that he is looking forward to publishing additional works in the near future.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this book at a cost of $12.00 (including postage), you may contact the Church office by phone (561 994-2335) or via e-mail: stdavoff@att.net.

The Armenian Church of Southwest Florida concluded its last service of the season on Sunday, March 11 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Naples, Florida. Over 125 parishioners were present, the largest number of parishioners to attend Holy Service (Badarak) to date. The Very Rev. Fr. Aren Jebejian from St. Gregory Armenian Church in Chicago was the celebrant. He was assisted by Deacon Allan Tossoonian from St. Hagop’s Armenian Church in Pinellas Park. Organist Pierre Abadjian and fourteen choir members from across the United States, provided the beautiful music. Also in attendance were Hayr Soorp’s parents, Rev. Fr. Nerses and Yeretzgin Aurora Jebejian.
A light luncheon followed in the hall where parishioners enjoyed both an Armenian and American menu. The annual bake sale, featuring delicious katahs, simit, and other Armenian favorites, was completely sold out.
Anyone visiting or living in the Naples, Fort Myers, Marco Island area and wishing to participate in future events, please follow http://www.FLArmenians.com. Services are held November through April.
