Our churches bylaws state that the Parish Assembly shall elect from among the dues-paying members, a Parish Council of eleven members who shall be custodians of the properties of the church and shall, together with the Parish Priest, be in charge of the conduct of the affairs of the Parish.
The Parish Council shall elect its own officers, carry out decisions of the Parish Assembly, prepare and submit the annual budget, collect the income and pay expenses, ensure the proper and regular performance of church services, support the schools, encourage all educational, benevolent and cultural organizations in the community, and do what is proper to coordinate with the Diocese and make timely payments to it.
Any interested member of St. Peter Armenian Church, who feels the desire to volunteer his or her time for the betterment of our church and to uphold the Gospel of Jesus Christ, please make yourself known to a member of the Parish Council.
Parish Council meetings are usually held the first Tuesday of each month in the St. Peter Church conference room at 6:30 p.m.
