VISITING HOLY CROSS

Your First Sunday

Visiting an Armenian Divine Liturgy may be a new experience. You do not need to understand every prayer or custom before attending. Come as you are, observe the service, and allow yourself time to become familiar with the worship of the Church.

1

Join Us for Worship

Come to Holy Cross on Sunday morning for the Divine Liturgy. Visitors are welcome to attend, listen, pray, and experience the worship of the Armenian Church.

2

Stay for Fellowship

After the service, remain for fellowship and introduce yourself. It is the easiest way to meet parishioners and begin getting acquainted with the community.
