​All Saints Day Commemoration
​​​​​​
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 14:4-5
Dear Faithful,
These words from the Gospel according to John are very meaningful, especially as we consider all the attention we give to the sainted martyrs of the Great Genocide of 1915.
It is inspiring and heart-warming to see the Wisconsin Armenian community come together and be united in recognition of Armenian Martyrs’ Day. And I am proud that we share in the legacy of the faith that the Martyrs demonstrated in 1915.
The Turkish Empire tried to destroy the Armenian people and wipe them off the face of the earth, but they were unsuccessful. And wherever Armenians went in the world, they re-established themselves, they built churches. They worked diligently. They flourished and prospered. And they contributed positively to whatever society they found themselves in.
Last Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection of Our Lord. Today we can celebrate the resurrection of the Armenian people, because we continue to hold fast to the faith for which the Holy Martyrs gave their lives and through God's grace and blessings, we have passed from death to life.
With blessings,
Der Sahak Kaishian

Armenian Publications in Social Studies
The link below is to an article that appeared in a journal for midwest social studies educators, written by George Dalbo, Talene Kelegian, Armen Hadjinian and John C. Savagian. It was based on a presentation given at the WI Council of Social Studies annual conference in March 2024. The publication asked several presenters to put the presentations to paper.
George Dalbo, the GenEd fellow, led the article effort.

A Note from Armen
What if there were no Armenian Churches in America?
Lent gives us a time to reflect on our lives and relationship with God.
Here’s a story that we can all relate to:
The other day, I found a book that belonged to my grandfather. It was
simply an Armenian to English phrase book. Printed in the US in 1914.
I’m sure most of that generation carried something like that to help
navigate their new and different world.
Looking through it, the standard phrases stood out showing the harsh
loneliness of their new life; “I’m a hard worker, please give me a chance”
and “I would like to find a bed to sleep in”. But what gave me chills as I
held that same book that my grandfather held, was this line: “I go to the
Baptist church”, and “Where is the Protestant church”. But no Armenian.
Why? There was no Armenian church in America.
Imagine this season, this life, your family, if these immigrants just gave
up and assimilated, lost their faith, their culture, their history. Our world
would be dramatically different. Please take a moment to think of what
they lost and what was given to us.

The Sunrise Service
​
Performed at daybreak, celebrates God as the giver of the morning light
and the Light of Salvation.
Throughout the period of Great Lent the altar curtain is closed,
symbolizing man’s expulsion from paradise.
The main altar represents the kingdom and paradise.
By closing the curtain, we are called to repentance and
to deep spiritual reflection on how much we need
God’s presence in our lives.
~ Excerpt from Vemkar Topical Series
