IN MEMORIAM
ARCHPRIEST FR. ANOUSHAVAN ARTINIAN
It is with deep sorrow that we learned of the passing of Archpriest
Fr. Anoushavan Artinian which occurred on Wednesday, January 13th,
2010, following a long illness.
Archpriest Fr. Artinian, who was retired at the time of
his death, served the Armenian Church for nearly 50 years,
specifically in Greece and the Eastern and Western United States. He
served for many years at St. Mary's Church in Glendale, playing a
large role in the establishment of the church.
Extreme Unction will take place during funeral mass on
Tuesday, January 19th, at 10:00 a.m., at St. Mary's Church in
Glendale, followed by the burial service.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, clergy,
and the Religious and Executive Councils express their condolences to
Yeretsgin Salpi Artinian, children Steve, Khajag, Houri, and their
families.
May his memory remain ever blessed.
EPISCOPAL DIVINE LITURGY ON THE NAME DAY OF
ST. GARABED CHURCH
According to the Armenian Church calendar, Thursday, January 14 was
the Feast of St. John the Forerunner. This feast is also the name day
of St. Garabed Church in Hollywood.
Thus, on Sunday, January 17th, 2010, H.E. Archbishop
Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, will celebrate Divine Liturgy and
deliver the sermon at St. Garabed Church. The blessing of madagh will
take place at the conclusion of Divine Liturgy.
The parish Pastor and Board of Trustees have organized a
reception on this occasion, which will take place immediately after
the church service at `Karapetian' Hall. Sunday School students and
Rose and Alex Pilibos School students will participate in the cultural
program.
PRAYERS FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE HAITI EARTHQUAKE
As news reports emerge from Haiti following the devastating earthquake
which shook the island nation on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010, we have
learned that Archbishop of Port-au-Prince, Monsignor Joseph Serge
Miot, and over one hundred priests are among the victims.
On Thursday, January 14th, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh
Mardirossian, Prelate, sent a letter of condolence to H.E. Cardinal
Roger Mahony, expressing his sympathies on behalf of Prelacy clergy
and faithful on this tragic loss of life.
By the ordinance of the Prelate, prayers will be offered
for the victims of the earthquake during Divine Liturgy on Sunday,
January 17th.
We call upon our faithful to participate in these prayers
and also in the relief efforts by extending a helping hand through the
many humanitarian organizations involved in this effort.
