Recent Graduate Attends Course at Villanova University

On July 13-17, Dn. Arin Parsanian, a 2026 St. Nersess graduate, traveled to Villanova University Business Center for Church Management. He participated in its Certificate Program in Church Management for Men in Formation. The coursework covered the fundamentals of church management, addressing both finances and people, with current research, real-life case studies, group projects, and interactive class discussions.

“It was a great experience for me as I had the opportunity to learn and share my thoughts with my Catholic brothers,” shared Dn. Arin. During the program, he had the opportunity to read the Gospel and deliver the sermon during Mass.

Dn. Arin will be installed as the Pastoral Assistant at St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church in Pasadena, CA, on August 2.
