SPECIAL EVENT NOTICE -
ARMENIAN CHURCH IN SINGAPORE TO CELEBRATE 170TH ANNIVERSARY
It is with great pleasure and deep honour that we inform communities
around the world of an auspicious event that will take place in
Singapore from 10th to 13th November, 2005.
These dates will mark the celebration of the very first church in
Singapore, built by the Armenian Community in 1835 and dedicated to
St Gregory the Illuminator whose steadfast Christian faith influenced
the nation of Armenia to adopt Christianity as its state religion in
301 A.D.
The 170th anniversary celebration of this historic church will be
officiated by the Pontifical Visit of His Holiness Karekin II Supreme
Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, accompanied by His Eminence
Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate of Australia and New Zealand and
Pontifical Legate of India and the Far East.
The celebration will include a program of religious and cultural
events that are currently in the planning.
In this special year of commemoration for Armenians, on the dual
occasions of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and
the 1600th anniversary of the founding of the Armenian Alphabet,
we invite all Armenians and friends of Armenians to attend this
momentous function to share a renewal of faith and culture in a
Diasporan Community so far from our ancestral of home.
The Armenian Apostolic Church of St Gregory the Illuminator is the
oldest church in Singapore and is located at 60 Hill Street Singapore.
Further information of this event can be requested from the Armenian
Consulate in Bangkok, Thailand at e-mail: [email protected] , Tel.
