St. John Armenian Church of Milwaukee to Host 2026 Armenian Church Diocesan Assembly
St. John the Baptist Armenian Church of Milwaukee is honored to announce that it will serve as the host parish for the 2026 Diocesan Assembly of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America. The Assembly will bring together clergy, delegates, and lay leaders from Armenian parishes across the Eastern United States for several days of worship, governance, and fellowship.
The 2026 Diocesan Assembly will take place in Spring 2026, with dates, program details, and registration information to be made available in December 2025.
“We are deeply honored to welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ to Milwaukee,” said Fr. Guregh, pastor of St. John Armenian Church. “This is an opportunity for our parish and the greater Wisconsin Armenian community to serve the wider Diocese and reflect the spirit of unity that defines our Church.”
St. John the Baptist Armenian Church, located in Greenfield, Wisconsin, is one of the most active Armenian parishes in the Midwest. Founded in 1940, it has long served as a spiritual, cultural, and community hub for Armenian-Americans in the region.
The Diocesan Assembly is the annual representative gathering of the Eastern Diocese, responsible for discussing and determining matters of church life, finances, mission work, and long-term planning. Delegates include clergy and elected lay leaders from each parish across the Diocese.
The 2026 Assembly will include liturgical services, formal sessions, ministry presentations, and opportunities for fellowship among parish representatives and guests.
