The archbishop and bishop welcomed the new godparents of the church, Mr. and Mrs. Garabed Thomasian»of»Worcester, Mass.

St. Stephen’s Church was dedicated in 1926, yet fell into foreclosure during the Great Depression. Four men stepped forward, pledging their personal assets to save the church. In honor of these men, Archbishop Oshagan presented awards to their descendants, who were in attendance: Susan Kochunas, the daughter of Karekin Kevorkian, the godfather of the church (who named it after the church he left in Cyprus before coming to America); and Lucy Horenian, the daughter of Avedis Atashian. The other two men were Amrah Bayram and Harry Parparian.

Following the citations, the children of the church presented a gift to the pastor, Archpriest Aram Stepanian, to be given to the orphaned children of Armenia.
