St.Garabed Armenian Church †

WE MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT WE GET…
BUT WE MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT WE GIVE…


St. Garabed Building Fund was established under the aegis of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church, in memory of her beloved mother, Arousiak DerVartanian Mardirosian, by John and Lucine M. Harvey in January, 1987. During the 22 year period from January 1987 to present date, the Fund has enjoyed a steady increase.

Now is the opportunity for all of us to honor a family member, memorialize a loved one, or create a permanent presence in the church. This is a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to preserve and perpetuate your faith, heritage, and become a pillar of St. Garabed Armenian Church. By selecting an item or items from the list below, your contribution will adorn the church forever.

A permanent Honor Roll of Donor-Contributors was established. We will continue to acknowledge their generosity in combined effort to preserve the Armenian religion, language, and our cultural history.

Appreciated securities are also welcomed. They will save you capital gains tax and brokerage fees, and also give you the same tax deduction as cash for your donation. For further information, call the church number at 407-876-7732. A member of the Fund Raising Committee will be happy to meet with you. All donations will be recognized on a plaque, which will be placed in the Narthex.

Your contribution will assist the Building Committee in making the final budgetary decisions. May God bless and guide us all in this sacred endeavor.
