    PRAYER FOR PEACE AND UNITY IN LEBANON - PRELATE PLEDGES SUPPORT TO THE CONSUL GENERAL OF LEBANON

    For over a week now Lebanon has been subject to attacks by Israel,
    which has left the country in bloodshed and resulted in a humanitarian
    and security crisis.

    The attacks have left hundreds of Lebanese dead, mostly innocent
    citizens, and damaged the infrastructure of the country.

    In light of this tragedy, His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh
    Mardirossian, Prelate, spoke with Consul General Charbel Wehbe on
    Tuesday July 18, expressing his sympathy and that of the entire
    Armenian community for the casualties the country has suffered,
    wishing for unity and solidarity to prevail in Lebanon and among the
    Lebanese people. The Consul General spoke of the situation in Lebanon,
    and on behalf of the government requested that the Armenian community
    offer any humanitarian assistance within their means to the civilian
    victims. The Consulate is planning to designate a special committee
    to coordinate these humanitarian efforts.

    On Sunday July 23, a special prayer will be said in all Prelacy
    churches for the lives lost in the fighting.

    We urge our faithful to pray for peace, security, and unity in Lebanon.
