    PanARMENIAN.Net - Addressing a youth gathering in Isfahan, Iran,
    His Holiness, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I called
    for a more important role for the Armenian youth in church and
    community life: "All sorts of approaches and all modes of thinking
    that marginalize youth must be challenged" he said and urged the
    community organizations to provide broader space for a more active
    participation of youth.

    His Holiness emphasized the pivotal role of youth in all aspects of
    society life. In his view, "constant and serious efforts must be made
    to ensure the contribution of youth to all initiatives and processes
    aimed at community building," he said.

    His Holiness also visited the community schools and met with the
    student and teachers. He said that "the school, with its important
    role in Christian education is, in a sense, the extension of church.

    This is why our church considers the school an inseparable part of its
    missionary outreach". His Holiness greatly appreciated the dedication
    of the teachers to Armenian-Christian formation of the generations
    to come.

    A cultural program was prepared by the students in his honor.

    Aram I also visited the old people's house and other social centers
    which are run by the church and church-related organizations.
