    HIS HOLINESS ISSUES AN ENCYCLICAL ON THE OCCASION OF
    THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEMINARY'S ESTABLISHMENT

    His Holiness Aram I's Encyclical dedicated to the 75th anniversary
    of the establishment of the Seminary of the Catholicosate of Cilicia
    was read out in the St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral on May 1. Fr
    Bartev Gulumian, the Dean of the Seminary, read the encyclical during
    the holy mass.

    His Holiness focuses in the encyclical on the history of the Seminary's
    establishment and through it on all those, including catholicoi and
    teachers, who have contributed to the material, intellectual and
    spiritual formation of the seminary. The encyclical combines the
    views of each Cilician Catholicos towards the institution and their
    visions for its future.

    The encyclical addresses all the former students of the seminary,
    who have passed through this spirit-building institution, all
    the benefactors, who have believed and continue to believe in the
    Seminary's irreplaceable mission, the Seminary's current students,
    calling upon them to consciously evaluate their years at the
    institution, and all the Armenians, calling upon them to support
    the Seminary.

    The encyclical was read out in all the dioceses under the jurisdiction
    of the Catholicosate of Cilicia. Commemorations and celebrations will
    be held throughout the year in Lebanon and all the dioceses on the
    occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Seminary's establishment.
