    GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY OF HOLY CROSS ARMENIAN CHURCH IN LAVAL

    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.
