We are very proud of Arianna Cruickshank, who grew up in and continues to be a very active member of the St. Thomas Armenian Church family. She is currently interning in Washington, DC, this summer with Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. of NJ’s 6th Congressional District. Congressman Pallone serves as Co-Chairman of the Armenian Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues.

We pray for her success toward her endeavors to practice international law to be an advocate for human rights both here and abroad.

“It is with deep gratitude to God that I write this follow up letter to you regarding the ongoing renovations at our Sacred Home, St. Thomas Church and its complex.” (Read Hayr Papken’s full letter and see photos here.)

The students of the Kirikian Armenian School participated in pre-Easter festivities today. After their lessons, the children of the Armenian school were taught about Easter traditions while coloring vibrant eggs of their own to take home. Pictured are the first grade students, taught by Mrs. Hilda Giritlian, and assisted by the helpful hands of other dedicated teachers and helpers!
