"2011 YEAR OF ARMENIAN CHILD" DECLARED HIS HOLINESS ARAM I
In a recent Pontifical message addressed to the Diocesan Prelates and the
faithful, His Holiness Aram I declared 2011 as the year when Dioceses should
give special attention to the problems and concerns related to children and
reflect on the 'UN Covention Rights of the Child'.
During the past decade, Catholicos Aram I has been trying to raise awareness
on global issues and their impact on the lives of different members of the
community. The year of the child comes soon after the year of women. It is
his wish that at the end of the year, there will be a vision statement
similar to the one written by the women. Such a statement will help the
leadership accompany the children and empower them towards their future
responsibilities, because they are the future of the church and the
community.
