Ladies Society

LADIES SOCIETY MISSION STATEMENT

The Ladies Society Central Council governs all the chapters of Ladies' Societies throughout the Western Diocese. The LSCC has organized numerous events in the last decade, including retreats, cultural activities, and Women’s Day of Prayer.  The mission of the Ladies Society is to organize community events supporting the mission of St. Garabed Armenian Church of the Desert, raising funds and spearheading initiatives for increasing community involvement by promoting unity. Its vision is to cultivate, preserve and perpetuate the traditions and values of the Armenian Apostolic Church by facilitating the introduction and promoting involvement in existing  and new church programs to the community.  

As daughters of the Armenian Apostolic Church of the Holy Echmiadzin, and as bearers of the holy cross as a symbol of our faith, we recommit ourselves to be true followers of Christ, guided by the examples set before us by the Blessed Virgin Mary and by St. Ashkhen, St. Gayane, St. Hripsime to name a few of the many martyred women saints of our Christian heritage.

Bound in our faith, we are committed to guiding, encouraging, supporting, educating, and supervising the indoctrination of values within our culture and our Church through servitude and benevolence. As daughters and followers of the doctrines set before us, we commit ourselves to the responsibility to serve our church, our culture, and our Christian heritage with strength in the performance of our duties, courage in the line of adversity, and compassion and humility in our persona.
