80 Years of Service to Our Church

In September 1928, the Women's Guild, originally called the Ladies' Aid Society, was established at St. Leon Armenian Church. On September 28, 2008 St. Leon Women’s Guild members, clergy, family and friends came together to celebrate the Guild’s 80th year of continued service.

As members, we continue to work in the loving spirit of the women who walked before us. We welcome you to join us!

Our Mission…

is to encourage, assist and teach our members to preserve and live the Christian faith, which is based on the Holy Bible and the doctrines of the Armenian Church according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. This mission is realized through monthly meetings and programs designed to fulfill this commitment.
