Armenian Sisters Academy’s Genocide commemoration features State Senator Amanda Cappelletti

RADNOR, Penn. – The Armenian Sisters Academy held its annual Armenian Genocide Commemoration on Friday, April 23. Due to the pandemic, attendance was restricted to students, faculty, staff and Philadelphia’s Armenian clergy. The outdoor program was streamed live via Facebook to the hundreds of parents, grandparents, relatives, alumni and community members who filled the Academy’s Hovsepian Activity Center in years prior.

This year, the Academy was honored to have the participation of Pennsylvania State Senator Amanda Cappelletti. Students greeted the senator with the traditional salt and bread welcome.

The Armenian Weekly

Since 1899, Armenian Weekly's Armenian-language predecessor, the Hairenik, has reported, analyzed, and commented on the historic events of modern Armenian history, often in their staggering proportion, making it the longest-running Armenian-language newspaper in the world. As the first waves of American-born, English-speaking generations grew older, the need for a more mature publication in English was eventually filled by the Armenian Weekly. Today, along with news of general interest to the Armenian-American community, our newspaper publishes editorials, political analyses, a rich array of opinion pieces and columns, as well as literary criticism and reviews. While providing a platform for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the Armenian National Committee of America, the newspaper also functions as a space where a wide variety of views and opinions can be discussed openly and honestly.
