    Pastoral Visit To The Buyukada Armenian Community

    http://www.lraper.org/main.aspx?Action=DisplayNews&NewsCode=N0000007 69&Lang=ENG


    On Saturday morning, 16 July, the Divine Liturgy in Armenian was
    celebrated at the Buyuk Island St. Pacifico Latin Catholic Church, at
    the wish of the Buyuk Island Armenian community. Father Tatul Anusyan
    led the services and preached. Community members from Buyuk Island and
    the other islands filled the church. Deacons Vagarsak Seropyan, Sevan
    Civanyan, and Hayk Koparyan served the Eucharist. Sacred hymns were sung
    by a group of youths successfully under the direction of Diran Allen
    Nergizyan.

    Father Tatul preached on the scripture passage Luke 11:30: "The Son of
    Man will be a sign to this generation." He touched on the place of
    Christ in our lives and described how He enlightens us day by day. After
    summarizing the characteristics of a believer, Father Tatul stressed
    that becoming informed is not sufficient. We have to carry the same
    light to those around us, we need to engage in charitable works, and we
    need at all times to praise God for what Christ has done in our lives.

    After the Divine Liturgy the congregation expressed its pleasure and
    hoped to have pastoral visits and divine services more often on Buyuk
    Island.
