    As reported previously, on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010, the Prelacy
    lost Archpriest Fr. Anoushavan Artinian.
    On the morning of Tuesday, January 19th, H.E. Archbishop
    Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, clergy members, the late
    Rev. Anoushavan's family, Executive Council members, Homenetmen
    Central and Regional Executive members, representatives of sister
    organizations and a large number of faithful gathered at St. Mary's
    Church for the Funeral Mass and Extreme Unction.
    The funeral mass was celebrated by Very Rev. Fr. Muron
    Aznikian, during which clergy members solemnly and by turn read
    passages from the Bible. The Prelate then conducted the Extreme
    Unction ceremony, anointing the decedent's forehead and hand.
    Prior to the Prelate's remarks, the letter of condolence
    sent by H.E. Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan, Prelate of the Eastern
    United States, was read.
    The Prelate remembered Fr. Anoushavan as a good-natured
    and humble man, extolling his five decades of service within the
    Prelacies of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia, from
    Greece, to the Eastern United States, and finally at the Western
    Prelacy.
    On behalf of the clergy order and Religious and Executive
    Councils, the Prelate extended his sympathies to Yeretsgin Salpi
    Artinian, children Steve, Khajag, and Houri, and family members.
    The burial took place at Forest Lawn following the
    service.


    SCHOLARSHIP FUND ESTABLISHED AT MARY POSTOIAN
    PRE-SCHOOL IN MEMORY OF ZEVART YEDALIAN

    We are pleased to announce that ARS `Mayr' Chapter Mary Postoian
    Pre-School in Hollywood recently received a considerable donation
    courtesy of young attorney Shant Yedalian.
    Mr. Yedalian recently represented a class action lawsuit
    brought forth against a commercial establishment. A judgment was
    awarded in favor of the plaintiff. After consulting with the court,
    Mr. Yedalian decided to donate the sum of $104,500 to a charitable
    cause.
    Mr. Yedalian kept the Prelacy abreast of the situation and
    expressed his desire to donate the funds to ARS `Mayr' Chapter Mary
    Postoian Pre-School to establish a scholarship fund in memory of his
    late mother Zevart Yedalian.
    H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, Executive
    Council and the Board of Regents highly commend Mr. Yedalian's
    thoughtful gesture and generosity.
