History In the 1950’s some Armenians had started to settle in Vancouver. In 1968 Bishop Vatche Hovsepian, then Vicar General, established a small parish, appointed a parish council and arranged for periodic Armenian rites to be performed in St. Chad’s Anglican Church. Occasionally visiting clergymen came from California as well, and gradually a choir, ladies’ auxiliary and youth committees were formed. On March 15, 1984, the Marpole United Church was purchased and served as the community center. In 1996 renovations and modifications became necessary to convert the building to a church and community center. The pastor of the church has been Rev. Fr. Keghart Garabedian since 1990.St. Vartan Armenian Church 1260 west 67th Avenue Vancouver British Columbia V6P 2T2 Canada Tel: (604) 261-7411 Fax: (604) 261-7256
