(Eastern Diocese) – On Sunday, September 3, Soorp Haroutiun Church of Orlando, FL, honored Rev. Fr. Armash Bagdasarian on the first anniversary of his assuming the pastorship of the Orlando parish.

Fr. Bagdasarian became the spiritual leader of the parish shortly after his ordination into the priesthood by the hand of Diocesan Primate Archbishop Khajag Barsamian. It was a rare double ordination that enriched the ranks of our clergy with Fr. Bagdasarian and the Rev. Fr. Avedis Kalayjian, pastor of the St. Mesrob Church of Racine, WI.
