The Diocese of the Armenian Church of Canada announces the commencement
of the building of the Laval Armenian Community Center and Holy
Cross Church on 5001 Blvd. de Souvenir. Extensive planning and
consultations during the past two years have finally brought the
Diocese, the steering committee and the Laval Armenian community
closer to realizing this long awaited dream.
Under the auspices of His Eminence Bishop Bagrat Galstanian, Primate
the Steering Committee is organizing the Groundbreaking Ceremony,
to be held on May 31.
Through the establishment of the Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church
and the Community Center, the Diocese and the faithful of the community
together are working to provide a home for the future generations. As
the project to build an Armenian Church and Community Center evolves,
the total sum of donations, to date has surpassed the target set by
the Steering Committee.
Presently the Building Fund for the Holy Cross Armenian Church of
Laval has reached $2.3 million. The total project is expected to be
completed at a current estimated cost of $6.5 million.
The steady growth of the Armenian community of Laval necessitated
an action plan to evaluate its future alternatives. Following the
recommendations of that study, the Parish Council started negotiations
with the Commission Scolaire des Ã~Icoles Catholique de Laval for
the purchase of a property on Blvd. des Souvenirs in Laval. After
lengthy negotiations, the land purchase process was realized.
On Saturday, May 31 2008 the most anticipated construction plans
will begin.
The property holds the full potential of housing a church and a
Community Center for the Laval community. While the Church will serve
the spiritual needs of the community, the Community Center will play
an essential role in the mission to serve the Laval residents by
helping them evolve both, culturally and educationally.
