The Diocese
Posted: 09/12/2025
The mission parish of the Armenian Church of Granada Hills was established with the blessing of the Diocesan Primate Archbishop Hovnan Derderian. In a short time since its founding, the spiritual life of our newly established parish has begun to flourish, bringing hope, unity, and renewed faith to the hearts of many. What began as a humble gathering of faithful believers has quickly grown into a vibrant spiritual community, marked by deep devotion, active participation, and a strong sense of belonging.
From the very first celebration of the Divine Liturgy in our temporary worship location, there was a sense that the Holy Spirit was present and working among us. Parishioners, both new and long-time, were eager to contribute, not only through their time and talents but also with their prayers and commitment to building something lasting. In just a few months, the parish has become more than a place of worship; it has become a spiritual home.
