The Eastern Prelacy’s 2025-26 Membership Dues

This annual campaign by the Eastern Prelacy asks for your support of the multiple programs aimed at benefiting the growth and advancement of the Armenian Community. We appreciate your generous contributions.

Tradition:The Power of Continuity and Innovation

The wellbeing of our people and the development of the new generations have been at the core of the Eastern Prelacy’s undertakings from the very first day. In close cooperation with the parishes, the Eastern Prelacy has carried out its mission, from the United States to the Middle East and Armenia.

The Pontifical Visit of His Holiness Catholicos Aram I has provided renewed spiritual vitality to our Prelacy. The first leg of the visit took place in November 2023, and the second half, in October 2024. His Holiness’ blessings and pastoral presence reached all parishes of our Eastern Prelacy, regardless of distance and size—from the Mid-Atlantic to New England and the Midwest—energizing the faithful and the communities.

The Prelacy attained new successes in the implementation of its proposed programs. This year, the Sts. Sahag and Mesrob online academy was established, which, through its high-quality instruction, aims not only to deepen the religious education of our faithful but also to identify potential candidates for the priesthood. The Department of Christian Education continued its well-received series of online Bible studies. The St. Gregory of Datev summer academy, as well as the Salt and Light youth program, renewed their fruitful activities. The Siamanto Academy completed another academic year, invigorated by the presence of highly qualified lecturers. One-year training courses aimed at the development of teachers and principals were organized. All of these efforts foster the Armenian and religious education of both our youth and our community.

In May 2025, the National Representative Assembly focused on key priorities in line with His Holiness’ vision for re-organizing the Diaspora and rejuvenating our human resources, which are to be fulfilled by way of the revitalization of traditions.

Putting the Prelacy’s mission into practice requires, more than ever, gathering our forces for the sake of a bright future for our communities. Towards that end, we need the practical contribution of every individual, today and always.

Prayerfully, 

Archbishop Anoushavan
Prelate
