Sevan, Ardaz and Ghevont Lodges serving Armenian communities with unity and dedication. Guided by the example of our patron saint, St.

The Knights of Vartan Los Angeles Tri-Lodge Council brings together the efforts of the
men of Sevan (San Fernando Valley), Ardaz (Los Angeles) and Ghevont (Pasadena)
Lodges to serve the Armenian people with one united heart through service,
fundraising, huminatarian projects, and a spirit of giving. By working together as a Tri-
Lodge Council, we can take on meaningful projects that a single lodge could not
manage alone. Vartan Mamigonian, who gave his life to
defend faith and the Armenian nation, we live out that same spirit of courage, sacrifice
and love. Our members give their time, talents and resources freely, because we care
deeply about the future of Armenia and her people. Right now, that shared effort is focused on helping families in Armenia, especially
refugees from Artsakh, build stable, dignified livelihoods through the Knights of Vartan
Economic Sustainability Program (ESP). For more information on our national organization, the Knights and Daughters of Vartan,

Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the United States of America.

Armenian-Americans have proudly been part of the story of this nation since its early days — contributing to our communities, answering the call to serve, and helping build and defend this great country.

May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of all our fallen heroes.

We honor. We remember. We are grateful.
