A New Khatchkar in Evanston

Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Diocesan Primate, will visit St. James Church of Evanston, IL, on Sunday October 25, where he will consecrate a new khatchkar installed on church grounds. The monument is dedicated to the newly canonized saints of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

On Sunday, the parish also will celebrate the church’s 70th anniversary. Three new icons will be consecrated by the Primate on this occasion. At a luncheon following services, longtime parishioner Anna Marie Norehad will be honored with the “Sts. Sahag Mesrob” medal and Pontifical Encyclical.
