The parish council is composed of members elected by St. Hagop’s parishioners; they serve two-year terms, with a maximum of six consecutive years, and participate in the church’s governance. Parish council members attend monthly meetings and – both during and between meetings – tend to governance issues confronting the church. A nominating committee, elected by the congregation, presents a slate of parish council candidates to the congregation at St. Hagop’s annual meeting every February; the congregation votes to elect its parish council members. Also, parish council members serve as greeters during church services, and manage plate collections on Sundays. Contact any member below for more information.
