By the order of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and
Catholicos of All Armenians, as of May 10, 2011, Rev. Fr. Abel
Manoukian will be suspended from his clerical activities. The order
states that Father Abel is being suspended due to failure to;
acknowledge the canonical Diocese of Switzerland, recognize the
authority of the appointed Locum Tenens and pastor of the Church of
St. Jacob in Geneva, and not comply with the Pontifical order to
return to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
Rev. Fr. Abel has been ordered to return to the Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin within a week to meet with the Clergy Council. During the
period of suspension, the clergyman is prohibited from conducting
sacraments and services, as those will not be recognized as valid.
