St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church

About this church

St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church worships at 200 West Mount Pleasant Avenue in Livingston. Sunday Morning Service begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by Divine Liturgy—Soorp Badarak—from 10:00 until noon. Fellowship follows the liturgy, giving visitors a natural opportunity to meet parishioners after worship. The church office is open weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the site also lists Sunday fellowship beginning at noon.

The parish traces its beginnings to Armenian Christians serving the Newark community after World War I and now reflects roughly a century of pastoral and communal life. Its history page records transitions in clergy while emphasizing continuity through visiting priests and generations of faithful leadership. Araratian Sunday School provides Christian formation for children, with registration information published online. The Armenian terms on the schedule are useful rather than ornamental: Morning Service precedes the Eucharistic Divine Liturgy, so arriving only at 10:00 misses the opening half hour of prayer. For someone new to Armenian Apostolic worship, the official sequence is clear—Morning Service, a two-hour liturgy window, then parish fellowship—and the historical account places that worship within the long story of the region's Armenian community.
