In the past month, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate,
and Executive Council have been visiting Prelacy parishes to meet with
Boards of Trustees and discuss issues pertaining to each respective parish.
The main purpose of these visits is for the new Executive Council

with the representatives of each church, and also to gain information about
the activities and endeavors of each parish community.
The first of these meetings took place nearly a month ago with Forty
Martyrs Church in Orange County and the North Hollywood Parish.
On Tuesday, July 10, 2012, the Prelate and Executive Council met

During their discussion, great consideration was given to youth and Sunday
School activities, and the importance of strengthening these fields of
activity.
The visits will continue in the coming weeks and will cover all
Prelacy Churches and parishes.
PRELATE VISITS THE STUDENTS OF HOLY TRINITY CHURCH VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IN
FRESNO
On Monday, July 9, 2012, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian,
Prelate, departed for Fresno to visit the annual Vacation Bible School (VBS)
organized by Holy Trinity Church. Each year, this event brings together
kids, teens, and adults to discover God's love for His children through
educational and fun activities geared towards our young church members.
This year's VBS began on Sunday, July 8 and continued until Thursday, July
12.
The Prelate's visit began with dinner with the children and their
parents. Joining them were Parish Pastor Rev. Fr. Vahan Gosdanian, Board of
Trustees Chair Mr. Varoujan Der Simonian and members, Delegates, and
Executive Council member Mr. Bill Saatjian.
His Eminence then delivered his message to the children on the theme
"SKY: Everything is Possible with God". The focus of his message was to
trust God at all times; no matter how you feel, where you are, what people
do, or what happens, to trust in God. To teach the children this important
message, the Prelate told them about the raising of Lazarus and of the
boundless love and power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Prelate continued his meeting with the children by interacting
with them at the different VBS stations.
In the evening, the Prelate had an opportunity to meet with the
Church Pastor, Board, Delegates, and Deacons to discuss various issues
pertaining to the parish.

On Friday, July 6, 2012, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian,
Prelate, welcomed to the Prelacy author Mrs. Alice Navasargian, who had come
to present the Prelate with her latest book "The Immortals": A Pictorial
Anthology of Historiographic Works and a Brief History of Armenia and
Armenians in Persia. This is the author's third book devoted to Armenian
contributions to the arts.
Executive Council Chair Mrs. Rima Boghossian and Ladies Auxiliary
members Mrs. Dzovig Zetlian participated in the meeting.
The Prelate thanked Mrs. Navasargian for the book, commended her for
her dedication in this field, and also thanked her for her years-long
support and encouragement of the Prelacy's endeavors.
Given that H.H. Catholicos Aram I has proclaimed the year 2012 as
the "Year of the Armenian Book", the Prelate extended an invitation to the
author to participate in a future Prelacy event dedicated to the Armenian
Book, where her latest book will also be highlighted.
