Sanctuary: The parish owns its permanent sanctuary, which is not the original one. The previous site was on Dresden Street in Springfield, MA, and was known as St. John the Divine Armenian Church from 1958-83. It was purchased for $12,500 from the Chase Memorial Baptist Church. The parish built its current sanctuary. Major benefactors include Fred Zeytoonjian, Kapriel Garabedian family, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bedrosian, and Nishan Toros Omartian.
