On Thursday, June 26, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, paid a pastoral visit to the St. Gregory Church parish community in San Francisco, where he held meetings with Parish Pastor Archpriest Fr. Khoren Habeshian, Delegates, and Board of Trustees members. His Eminence was accompanied by Deacon Avo Markarian, a candidate for the priesthood.
The purpose of the visit was for the Prelate to officially introduce to church and community leaders Deacon Avo Markarian, who will be the new parish pastor of St. Gregory Church upon his ordination into the priesthood in August and following the forty-day period of solitude.
