St. Sahag Armenian Church

St. Sahag is the center of Armenian spiritual and cultural life in Minnesota. As a Minnesota parish of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern Diocese), St. Fr.

Sahag represents the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, a member of the Oriental Orthodox communion. The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Republic of Armenia, is the seat of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians. The Rev. Tadeos Barseghyan has led our parish since November 2012, succeeding the Rev. Frs. Hratch Sargsyan (2010–2011) and Sahak Kaishian (2007–2009). The former Merriam P

ark Presbyterian Church (1912) was purchased in December, 2000. The historic structure was sensitively redesigned into an Armenian sanctuary. Outdoor signage in English and Armenian is the first prominent display of Armenian letters in Minnesota. On Sunday, January 14, 2001, seventeen centuries after Armenia’s conversion to Christianity, the Rev. Yeprem Kelegian celebrated the first Armenian worship service in our new sanctuary. Consecration day, Saturday, September 7, 2002, fulfilled a long-held dream for the Armenians in Minnesota, and indeed, the upper Midwest. This century-old community, first settled in 1899, finally had a church home. In October, 2007, St. Sahag was honored to welcome His Holiness Karekin II, the first Catholicos of All Armenians to visit Minnesota.

Blessings on Independence Day
As the United States of America celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, we pause first to thank God, from whom every good gift comes. As Armenian Christians, our gratitude is especially profound because America became a refuge where our ancestors found safety, opportunity, and the freedom to worship Christ. Yet Jesus reminds us that the greatest blessing we can offer our country is not merely our appreciation but our witness. He calls His followers to be 'the light of the world.' Nations are ultimately strengthened not merely by laws, armies, or prosperity, but by people whose lives reflect truth, integrity, compassion, and faith.
This Independence Day, we renew our prayers, asking our Lord to preserve and protect this land and her people, so that she may never cease to be a sign of hope in our world. On this 250th anniversary, we join our voices with gratitude, conviction, and love to affirm: “God bless America.”
