ORDINATION OF ACOLYTES AND SUB DEACONS IN ANTELIAS
As each academic year in the Seminary draws to a close, a number of
ordinations take place in the Antelias headquarters of the Catholicosate of
Cilicia.
Acolytes and sub deacons were ordained by Bishop Nareg Alemezian in the St.
Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral on May 28. In the presence of His Holiness
Aram I, their parents and a large crowd of the faithful, junior Seminary
students were ordained as some of the humbler servants of God.
Bishop Nareg delivered a sermon that focused on three main themes: the
battle of Sartarabad, the commemoration of his renaming and the education of
young Seminary students who are taking their first steps in the Armenian
Church.
Bishop Alemezian also spoke about the Seminary's mission, highlighting its
important role specially in the Diaspora. He called upon parents to send
their children to the Seminary if the latter have the potential to serve the
Armenian Church.
