Lori grew up in the Armenian Church and is deeply rooted in her faith and Armenian heritage. She has been active in her church community from a young age, attending Sunday School and graduating with an award for 12 consecutive years of perfect attendance. Over the years, she served on the executive board of Holy Trinity’s ACYOA Juniors and participated in St. Vartan Camp as a camper, CIT, and counselor. Today, Lori remains an engaged and devoted member of her church community. She serves as a Sunday School teacher, is an active member of the ACYOA Seniors, and played a key role in revitalizing the previously inactive women’s group, which she now co-chairs. She recently chaired the committee for her church’s 100th anniversary gala and represented her parish as a youth observer at the Diocesan Assembly. She currently works with her church on social media outreach, marketing, and public relations, and is always seeking opportunities to serve and uplift her community.

 

She feels truly blessed to have deepened her faith and built lasting connections with other young adults from across the Diocese during the 2023 Young Adult Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Lori enjoys exploring new ways to grow in her faith each day and hopes to inspire, connect, and empower other young Armenian Christians within the ACYOA communities across the Diocese.
