Hello everyone!! It makes me so ecstatic to be serving as the President of St. Leon Burbank (Ghevontiants) Armenian Church for the first time. Working with our Guardian Committee and the Board Members this year delights me. I joined ACYO four years ago, and this will be my third year on Board!! I’m happy to see that more and more members are joining St. Leon’s ACYO in order to grow spiritually and learn. I’m thrilled to witness the daily growth of our church family! My goal is to have our members have a deeper connection with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Other than ACYO, I am currently a student at Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC). I will later be transferring to UCLA! I’m very interested in UCLA’s medical school. My goal is to continue in the medical industry and to become an Anesthesiologist. My goal is not just to support individuals on their spiritual journeys, but also to equip them with the skills and confidence to organize events that advance God's work. I am also dedicated to mentoring our new Board Members and Guardian Committee members, supporting in their growth to become strong and effective leaders. I believe deeply in the leadership potential within each person and am committed to guiding everyone toward realizing their full potential. I’m ecstatic to be a part of this large family and am looking forward to continuing to create memories with each of you. I hope that this year brings you all lots of joy and affection.

Hi everyone. I’m Andrew Garibian and I’ll be serving as your treasure for the year 2025. One important aspect I wanna bring into ACYO is bringing as much youth closer to God and the church while having everyone grow in faith. Currently, I am a jeweler working at the Los Angeles jewelry district and also playing soccer semi-professionally. I have been apart of the St. Leon Burbank chapter for 7 years and have been serving the Church’s altar for 5 years. I’ve enjoyed every moment and look forward to serving our church for many more years. We have many exciting events planned can’t wait to have an amazing year with all of you!

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Bazinyan. I am very excited to be Burbank ACYO's Contact Secretary and Advisor for 2025. I am a first year in college.
