PRIMATE VISITS PARISHIONERS OF ADELAIDE
Sydney, Australia - His Eminence Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate of the
Diocese of the Armenian Church of Australia and New Zealand made a pastoral
visit to the small Armenian parish of Adelaide over the weekend.
On Saturday, 23 July Archbishop Baliozian was the guest of honour at a
dinner hosted by some 30 community members who gathered to create a "little
Armenia" in a suburban community hall. The warm-hearted gathering which
included the usual Armenian hospitality of lavish food, good cheer and
spirited camaraderie was a memorable occasion for all.
The following day, community members and friends congregated in the Chapel
of the Christian Brothers College to partake in the Divine Liturgy of the
Armenian Apostolic Church offered by the Archbishop. The Primate later
performed a Marriage Sacrament and enjoyed the celebratory atmosphere of the
wedding reception.
Archbishop Baliozian had opportunity to meet with a number of Armenian
families over the course of the weekend before returning to his residence in
Sydney on 25 July.
