On November 4, 2006, Gilda Buchakjian-Kupelian, coordinator of Armenian
studies for the Diocese, traveled to Watertown, MA, where she met with the
teachers school board members, and principal of the St. Sahag and St. Mesrob
Armenian School of the St. James Church.
"It is always exciting to get into our parishes and see the students, who
are full of energy and excitement about our Armenian language, heritage, and
faith," Buchakjian-Kupelian said. "And I thank all the teachers, here and
in all our parishes, for their dedication to their mission."
