Der-Ghazarian Family Background
Rev. Sub-Dn. Lazarus William Levont Augustine,
Valerie Ann Theresa & the Der-Ghazarian Family
My wife is an Italian-American
I'm an Armenian-American

This page is dedicated to my beloved family and especially to my lovely wife
who for two decades has been to me a beacon of love, faithfulness, dedication,
and long-suffering.  She has given me eight children into this world
(nine -counting the one we lost through miscarriage -who rests in Christ's love).
She is a full-time mother and home educator, in charge of family finances
and a wonderful person with whom I hope to spend
the rest of my earthly life and beyond.

The following are announcements we gave for the birth of our children
with explanations on how we chose each of their Saint names.
In these announcements there are also meditations on each Saint's importance
to the Apostolic Church and to our family.  To this day, we still read
these announcements as part of our "Name Day" celebrations.
