Bible Study Youth Social Night
June 15, 2011
On Sunday 12 June, youth Bible study took a twist with a break from learning and topical discussions to an evening dedicated solely to socialising. It was a good opportunity for everyone to become more closely acquainted and to forge stronger friendships over delicious Armenian kebab, music, fun and games.
Youth aged 18 onwards gather in the church hall every Sunday fortnight for a warm atmosphere of fellowship when issues of interest are discussed and explored from a scriptural perspective. The sessions are led by the Parish Priest, Reverend Father Avetis Hambardzumyan.
For information on upcoming youth nights contact Fr Avetis in the church office on 9419-8056.

Pastoral Visit to New Zealand
June 8, 2011
His Eminence Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate of the Diocese of Australia made his annual pastoral visit to the mission parishes of Auckland and Wellington on Thursday 2 June. He was accompanied on the trip by Very Reverend Father Giragos Davtyan, parish priest of St Mary’s Armenian Church in Melbourne and Ms Marina Avagyan, Co-ordinator of ‘Voice of the Armenian Church’ radio program.
During the five day visit, Divine Liturgy was held at the missions as well as warm community gatherings and home hospitality. Despite the chilly and windy elements, the community of Auckland braved the weather for the blessing of graves.
The small but vibrant communities were richly rewarded by the pastoral visit which is highly anticipated each year.
