THE NEWLY CONSECRATED PATRIARCH OF THE SYRIAC CATHOLIC CHURCH
His Holiness Aram I accompanied with Bishops of the Brotherhood visited His
Beatitude Ignatius Joseph III to congratulate him on his election as
Patriarch to lead and serve his people.
During the visit, the two Heads spoke of the relationship between the two
churches while the new Patriarch served his church in Syria and the United

relationships between the Syriac Catholic Church and the Armenian Orthodox
Church during the Armenian Kingdom (now Turkey), since the 11th century.

At the end of the visit, His Holiness Aram I expressed the hope that the
ancient bonds of relationship between the two churches would be strengthened
under the leadership of Patriarch Ignatius Joseph III, and would find new
expressions in their common ecumenical task regarding Christian presence in
the Middle East.
