Rev. Fr. Narek Sargsyan


Father Narek, the spiritual pastor of the Holy Cross Church in Aparan, believes that the leaders are caring and nurturing for every clergyman and believer.

He believes that when priests are doing well, spiritual fathers encourage them so that they can achieve great success. He graduated from the priest training course and was ordained a year ago as the spiritual pastor of Aparan and several neighboring villages.
