The Pastor and Parish Council of Holy Trinity Armenian Church are pleased to announce that Aram Hintlian, a longtime devoted and dedicated member of the Holy Trinity parish, will be honored as “Parishioner of the Year” at the Church’s 56th Anniversary Banquet to be held on Sunday, October 22, following church services, in the Charles and Nevart Talanian Cultural Hall.
The Very Rev. Fr. Mesrop Parsamyan, newly-appointed Director of Ministries at the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern), will be the Guest Celebrant on this morning and offer the homily, with the Divine Liturgy beginning at 10:00 a.m. During the Divine Liturgy, special prayers will be offered for the departed souls of the faithful who worked and built Holy Trinity Armenian Church at its present site in Cambridge. Following Church Services, the Annual Banquet will celebrate the 56th Anniversary of the consecration of Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge.
“Aram Hintlian is the type of person every parish would be honored to call a parishioner,” states Fr. Vasken A. Kouzouian, Pastor of Holy Trinity Church. “Aram comes from a family that was raised around the life of the Church. His parents taught all their children by example the meaning of being a devoted member of the Armenian Church. In turn, Aram and Becky have passed on that life-long commitment to their children, as have his siblings. Aram serves his Church on every level; at all major annual events, Bazaars, Golf Tournaments, fund-raising efforts, and on both the local and Diocesan levels. So much of our parish carries the fingerprint of Aram Hintlian. We are proud to call him Holy Trinity’s 2017 Parishioner of the Year. He is a role model for all.”
