The 111th Diocesan Assembly, hosted by St. David Church of Boca Raton, FL, will convene on Thursday, May 2. The Assembly will be preceded by the annual Clergy Conference, which will be held from April 29 to May 1.
In addition to the regular business sessions and reports from Diocesan organizations, an entire morning session of the Assembly will be devoted to a presentation of the new Diocesan theme for the coming year: “Living the Gospel of Christ.”
A highlight of the week of activities will be the annual awards banquet, on the evening of Friday, May 3. At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Edward and Janet Mardigian will be honored as the Diocese’s 2013 “Armenian Church Members of the Year.” Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who visited Armenia in the wake of the 1988 earthquake, has been named this year’s “Friend of the Armenians.”
The Diocesan Women’s Guild General Assembly also convenes next week. This year, leaders of parish Women’s Guilds will begin their annual meeting on Thursday, May 2, under the presidency of the Primate, with all Diocesan clergy participating.
The Women’s Guild Central Council’s fourth annual Woman of Wonder (WOW) Appreciation Luncheon will be held on Saturday, May 4. This year’s honorees are Carol Norigian, Nina Stapan, Claudette Sarian, Rose Kazanjian, and Naomi Davitian.
