    It is with great gratitude that H.E. Archbishop Moushegh
    Mardirossian, Prelate, the Executive Council, and the Board of Regents of
    Prelacy Schools announce that The Lincy Foundation has made an unprecedented
    contribution in the amount of $1,025,000 to Prelacy Schools for the

    The contributions were made to the following schools:

    Alongside their annual donations to Prelacy Schools, The Lincy
    Foundation has this year allocated an additional sum based on the individual
    needs and circumstances of each of our schools. These disbursements will
    enable our schools to continue to provide the highest standard of education
    to generations of Armenian youth. "We are grateful for this extraordinary
    contribution and wish to express our genuine appreciation to The Lincy
    Foundation for their encouragement and enduring support of our endeavors and
    mission", stated Archbishop Mardirossian.
    The Western Prelacy and affiliated bodies once again convey their
    heartfelt thanks to The Lincy Foundation for their generous endowments and
    invaluable contribution to the progress and prosperity of our communities in
    Armenia and the Diaspora.


    PRELATE CONVEYS HIS BLESSINGS ON THE START OF THE
    NEW SCHOOL YEAR

    On Wednesday, September 3rd, Prelacy Schools commenced the 2008-2009
    academic year. H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, visited
    Prelacy Schools and offered his blessings to the faculty and students for a
    successful school year. The Prelate visited Rose and Alex Pilibos School and
    Vahan and Anoush Chamlian School on Wednesday, and was in telephone contact
    with the principals of the schools he could not visit personally.
    Upon his arrival at Pilibos School, the Prelate was greeted by the
    principal, faculty, and students. In his message addressed to the students,
    the Prelate emphasized the special role of the Armenian School in that
    alongside the academic curriculum, our schools have an additional mission to
    instill in our students our spiritual and national values.
    During his visits to the schools, the Prelate also presented the
    principals with the recent donation made by The Lincy Foundation to Prelacy
    Schools, which this year was in the unprecedented amount of $1,025,000. The
    rest of the checks were presented to each of the schools by the chairman of
    the Executive Council and pastors.
    Prelacy pastors also attended the ceremonies of their local schools
    to convey their blessings and to read the Prelate's back to school message
    to the students.
