HUNDREDS OF SEMINARY SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE
IN HOLY MASS IN ANTELIAS
The Feast of St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew, the founding Apostles of the
Armenian Church, was celebrated in Antelias on November 29 by a Holy Mass
for students held in the Cathedral of the Catholicosate of Cilicia with the
participation of the students of Sunday Schools of the Diocese of Lebanon.
The Mass was organized by the directorship of the Sunday Schools and the
Religious Assembly of Sunday Schools under the auspices of His Holiness Aram
I.
The principle of Sunday Schools, Rev. Father Ghevont Penteznian officiated
the mass. The students of the Sunday Schools sung the hymns. During the
mass, hundreds of students received the Holy Communion.
After the Holy Mass, the students held a meeting with His Holiness Aram I.
They sung to him and listened to his fatherly advice. The results of the
painting competition organized by the directorship of the Sunday Schools
were announced creating great enthusiasm among the students. The students
received the Pontiff's blessings, had a group photo taken and were offered
food and beverages after which they returned home happily.
The "Day of Sunday Schools" without a doubt registered unforgettable
memories in the minds of Sunday School children particularly that it was
organized in the Year of Christian Education. Their meeting with His
Holiness Aram I will no doubt leave lasting impressions in their minds.
