PanARMENIAN.Net - Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia
and the spiritual leader of the Armenian Diaspora communities in the
Middle East, Europe and North America, visited St. Sarkis Armenian
Apostolic in Pasadena on October 6, Whittier Daily News reported.
Aram I, the leader of the Holy See of Cilicia, headquartered in
Antelias, Lebanon, makes his fourth pontifical visit to the western
United States, and his second visit to St. Sarkis. His last visit to
the region was in October 2005.
Aram I will deliver his blessings and inspirational messages to throngs
of faithful at various churches, events and venues around California.
While there, the pontiff will also participate in a special Feast
of Holy Translators Celebration, which is celebrated in October. The

St. Mesrop Mashtots, St. Sahak Partev, Moses of Khorene and Yeghishe.
The visit began with a communitywide welcome at St. Garabed Church
in Hollywood. The schedule included meetings with local students and
young adults, a lecture at UCLA on "The Future of Christianity in
the Middle East," and a presentation of the pontiff's latest book.
