Description: The first Sunday services of the Armenian Evangelical Church were held on November 14, 1896 at the Adams Memorial Presbyterian Church on East Thirtieth Street. Rev. H. H. Khazoyan, who had just arrived from Turkey for theological studies, led the initial organization of the church and thereafter became the first pastor. While there were a few Armenians in New York City at the time, the persecutions and massacres of Armenians in Turkey that had begun in 1895 had started bringing increasing numbers of Armenians to America. Eager to continue their religious life in their new homeland, Armenians flocked to the new Church.

Description: Good Shepherd’s historical roots go back to the 19th century, when Roosevelt Island was Welfare Island, where all the outcast and unwanted of New York City were placed, in the two Almshouses for male and female inmates, the Municipal Lunatic Asylum, the Penitentiary and its Hospitals. Beginning around 1850, the Episcopal Church, through its Mission Society, began sending people over in rowboats from Manhattan to meet the needs of all the poor, rejected, and forgotten residents of Welfare Island. In 1872, the Church appointed The Rev. William French to be the official Chaplain to Welfare Island, but the Almshouse officials would not let him conduct services in the chapel there. A benefactor, George Bliss, stepped forward, and the noted architect Frederic Clark Withers was commissioned to design “the most beautiful church in the city for its most neglected class of humanity.” The Chapel of the Good Shepherd, the building we worship in today, was dedicated in 1889.

Description: In the years following the genocide, St. Illuminator’s Armenian Apostolic Cathedral beckoned like a bright beacon of hope for a generation of survivors. After they landed on Ellis Island they quickly found their way to this modest church on a bustling street in the shadow of the “EL” where they searched for family members, village neighbors, and the anchor for a new life. In 1914, St. Illuminator’s members began to collect funds to purchase the church and its furnishings from the Methodists; six years later it came into Armenian ownership. In April 1921, St. Illuminator’s, at 221 East 27th Street, was consecrated as a cathedral. It, and the building next door, were ours. A new “homeland” at last!
