Saint Paul's Anglican Church has an historic connection to the Armenian community within our city, going back to the early 20th century when many Armenians immigrated to the United States fleeing from genocide. Saint Paul's church welcomed and embraced the Armenian families, beginning a long standing tradition of worship at Saint Paul's by members of that community. In April Father Andrew Faust and Deacon Bryan Dench attended the memorial remembrance at the genocide monument in Portland to offer prayers and spiritual support.
