The ACYO of St. John Armenian Church of San Francisco, under the pastoral guidance of Rev. Fr. Mesrop Ash and the leadership of Youth Director Charles Cherezian raised $4,300 in a fundraiser themed "For Home and Homeland" for the displaced families of Artsakh.
The ACYO also ran a fundraiser in which the members also raised money for toys for the Pediatric Ward of University of California San Francisco Hospital.
In a letter addressed to Fr. Mesrop Ash and Charles Cherezian Archbishop Derderian wrote "I am truly inspired for your God-pleasing mission. I commend your visionary leadership and most noble endeavor of reaching out to your brothers and sisters in the Homeland. May the Good Lord bless and protect you and reward you manifold for your selfless deed."
