| 2. Education Following the examples of Sts. Sahag and Mesrob who, in A.D. 403, under Divine inspiration created the Armenian alphabet and translated the God-breathed Holy Scriptures, the Divine Liturgy and the writings of the Church Fathers so that our people could grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Faith... We seek to build up Orthodox Christians in their most holy Faith. |

| 3. Ecumenism Imitating St. Nersess the Gracefilled (12th c.) who was a forerunner in establishing respectful dialogue between the Armenian, Latin and Greek Churches and one who worked diligently to restore full Communion between them... We seek to build a greater bond of unity between our brethren of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. |

| 4. Repentance Looking to the great doctor of repentance, St. Gregory of Narek (10th c.), we are aware of our own sinfulness and that we all fall short of the glory of God. Knowing that we must first learn to repent daily before we can lead others unto repentance... We seek to keep the Church's canonical fasts and feasts, follow a daily rule of prayer and give alms as the means of continuing our own spiritual growth, repentance and healing. |
