Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!
Hello parishioners and supporters of Holy Resurrection Armenian Church,
The above greeting is not a misprint, but an acknowledgment of what it means to be Armenian. For nearly 100 years in South Milwaukee, the Armenian immigrants and their descendants have been celebrating two Christmases, one on December 25th and of course, on January 6th, too. This January 6th, we will be carrying on that tradition with Soorp Badarak on the same site, on the same street that one, two, three generations before us have prayed and worshipped.
We should feel fortunate that our ancestors put the time and effort into creating a church here.
We all know it was not easy for them, but perhaps they did it for us,
with the following generations in mind.
Thank you,
Armen Hadjinian
Sub-Deacon

A message from the Armenian Relief Society
In view of the attacks on September 30, 2016, on Armenian populated areas of Aleppo, which resulted in the death of five members of that already stricken community, the Armenian Relief Society expresses its deep sorrow, extending its condolences to their families.
To this end, we appeal to our community and friends to take part in our ongoing humanitarian efforts with contributions to the ARS Syrian-Armenian Relief programs. Your participation, at this hour, is essential to keep the momentum of our emergency relief efforts to a community which must, with all means, survive these tragic circumstances.
For donations, please visit: https://www.classy.org/campaign/ars-syrian-armenian-relief-fund/c97739
Thank you for your continued support of this ongoing effort.
Tax deductible contributions can also be sent to:
