the foundation stone of the Holy Church of Nazareth in 1707, between

It is expected that His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos and Supreme
Patriarch of all Armenians will grace the occasion with his presence
and blessings.
It is also expected that as many members of the community, local,
national and international will attend all or some aspects of the
events.
