St. Paul Armenian Church of Fresno is pleased to announce the
appointment of Rev. Fr. Yessai Bedros as its new Parish Priest. His
appointment was made by Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the
Western Diocese of the Armenian Church, on August 6.
Fr. Yessai was born in Kamishli, Syria and graduated from the Armenian
Seminary of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia in
2006. He was ordained into the sacred order of priesthood that same
year and has served in parishes in Isfahan, Iran and
Lebanon. Fr. Yessai recently joined the Burbank, California-based
Western Diocese of the Armenian Church. He is married to Vartine and
they have two young sons.
While Fr. Yessai has been a guest celebrant at St. Paul on several
occasions since May, his first service as Parish Priest will be on
Sunday, August 10 at the annual Grape Blessing Picnic on the grounds
of the California Armenian Home located at 6720 E. Kings Canyon
Road. Services will begin at 10:30 am with the Grape Blessing ceremony
at 12 noon.
At 29 years of age Fr. Yessai is an energetic young priest, who brings
to the St. Paul parish a new level of excitement. His dedication to
the Church and the Armenian people is founded in a deep level of
spirituality.
We extend an invitation to the Fresno Community to welcome and meet
Fr. Yessai at the Grape Blessing Picnic.
