YOUNG FAITHFUL ORDAINED AS SERVANTS OF THE CHURCH
Sydney, Australia - Sunday, 10 October, 2004 was a historically significant
day for the Diocese of the Armenian Church of Australia and New Zealand when
the Primate of the Diocese, His Eminence Archbishop Aghan Baliozian
accompanied by the Reverend Fathers, Father Norayr Patanian and Father
Bartev Karakashian and Deacons ordained four young faithful servants as
Acolytes (Tbir) and blessed the veil of a fifth servant of the church, Miss
Arda Lepedjian who faithfully takes on the role of church organist week
after week and is the official accompanist to the Lousavorich Choir. The
ceremony took place at the Armenian Apostolic Church of Holy Resurrection in
Sydney.
The ordained Acolytes - Arman Lepedjian, Chris Nazarian, brothers Neshan and
Vatche Ansourian, have served the Church as altar boys over the past five to
ten years. Standing before the Holy Altar as young men of faith they will
now bring their service to the Church of Holy Resurrection at Chatswood and
the monthly worship service in the Western Suburbs of Sydney in their new
role.
It is our hope and prayer that the servanthood of these five young faithful
will be example for other youth to follow. Their dedication and
faithfulness to their mother Church is to be commended.
