    With the Grace of God, the Armenian Church of Santa Clarita was able
    to acquire a 28,875 square foot church-building, including a 60-space
    parking lot, at 24626 Kansas St., Newhall, CA 91321. On June 17,
    2009, His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate, accompanied
    by Harout Markarian, Executive Director of the Western Diocese, had
    visited the site and prayed for the growing and thriving parish. This
    great achievement of the Armenian Church of Santa Clarita became
    possible as a result of the persistent efforts of Rev. Fr. Nerses
    Hayrapetyan, Parish Priest, and members of the Parish Council.

    On Sunday June 28, 2009 the enthusiastic faithful of the Armenian
    Church of Santa Clarita gathered for the first time inside the
    sanctuary of the newly purchased church-building to participate in
    the very first celebration of the Divine Liturgy and deliverance of
    the sermon at this new location by Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Nerses
    Hayrapetyan. Rev. Archpriest Fr. Sipan Mekhsian, Chancellor of the
    Western Diocese, representing the Primate, presided over the church
    service. Prior to the sermon, he read the message of His Eminence
    Archbishop Hovnan Derderian pertaining to the significant and joyous
    occasion in the history of the Armenian Church of Santa Clarita.

    The Dedication Rite for the Armenian Church of Santa Clarita will be
    conducted following the celebration of the Divine Liturgy by Parish
    Priest Rev. Fr. Nerses Hayrapetyan on August 9, 2009. His Eminence
    Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, assisted by the Diocesan Clergy, will
    conduct the Dedication Rite of the newly purchased church-building
    in Santa Clarita.

    All faithful are invited to bring their participation to this great
    event in the history of the Armenian Church of Santa Clarita.
