    THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY IN DAMASCUS WELCOMES HIS HOLINESS ARAM I

    At the end of the public meetings, His Holiness Aram I, along with the
    Prelates of Syria and Lebanon and the other members of the delegation, met
    with the Armenian community at the Community Center, which is presently
    under construction. After welcoming speeches by different bodies of the
    Damascus community and a cultural event, the leadership announced that
    several benefactors were donating funds to complete the project that will
    also include a church and a school.

    Catholicos Aram I thanked the community and noted that "the Armenian Church
    is a 'Servant Church' which has always sought to unify the people." "Only
    through the collective will of the people," he continued, "can the Armenian
    nation and its spiritual and cultural values endure." He also thanked the
    donors for their generous contribution to the project. At the completion of
    his visit, His Holiness greeted the people personally.
