of the construction contract was held between the Laval parish Council and
Exedera Inc. under the auspices of His Eminence the Primate, the Pastors
of Laval and Montreal Parishes, with the presence of the former and
current members of Holy Cross Armenian Church Laval Parish and faithful in
the Diocesan Headquarters.
This spiritual joy and gratification was also equally shared by current
benefactors of the Church, the Steering group of the Building Committee
members, Architect, and the representatives of the Diocesan Council and

To mark this occasion, Bishop Bagrat said "Today is a significant day for
our Church in Canada, that following intense planning for all anticipated
challenges and despite confronting unforeseen obstacles we remained
resolute and unyielding. Our hope and unwavering faith is now fulfilled.
We are recommencing this God-pleasing mission to build the House of God, a
home for worship, a sanctuary for the longevity of our identity. It bears
the name of the Holy Cross. The name entails suffering and love, and it is
our honor to build it through hard work and love. I have called this
mission "Journey of Blessing" and invite our faithful be part of this
journey and always remain in blessing".
His Eminence gracefully acknowledged in his speech: "We give thanks to a
faithful family of our church family, who has made a significant
contribution towards this project. He added that following the wishes of
the donor family, the contribution of $500.000 for the building of the
Holy Cross Church of Laval Church, will remain anonymous.
On behalf of the Primate, the Diocesan Council and the Clergy of our
Diocese, we thank the generosity of our sponsors for their many years of
unyielding support and devoted fellowship to the life of our Church. We
would remind all our faithful and encourage all to come together and
continue with their efforts and contributions to help make the realization
of this endeavor a true community project.
