LA CRESCENTA-Western Prelate Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, the
Executive Council, and St. Garabed Church Pastor and Parish Council
announced that St. Garabed Church and Cultural Center of Las Vegas
has received a generous grant from the Dream Fund at UCLA, created
by The Lincy Foundation.
The grant will be allocated for a number of projects the Church will
undertake in the near future which address the needs of the growing
Armenian community of Las Vegas.
Pastor Archpriest Fr. Avedis Torossian and the Parish Council aim
to make the St. Garabed Cultural Center facility easily accessible
to children and young adults, providing them with the opportunity to
enhance their knowledge of Armenian language, history, and culture.
Also in the works are programs geared towards seniors and the elderly,
which would allow them the transportation means to visit St. Garabed
center and spend time with fellow Armenians in a home environment.
Thus, the plan is to have an Armenian language and history learning
center equipped with interactive and modern state of the art learning
tools, as well as a modern library equipped with Armenian books,
newspapers and magazines both from national and international sources.
Parish Council Chair Adroushan Armenian reports that "in addition to
this special allocation from the Dream Fund at UCLA, we have a unique
opportunity to raise additional funds to fulfill our obligations for
completing our church building, community center, and future expansion
plans with a matching grant from the Dream Fund at UCLA. However,
the time is short for this matching grant; the challenge starts
immediately and will end in early 2013. Please support the Las Vegas
community with your donations and help raise the required funds to
complete this project. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for
the Armenian community in Las Vegas to fulfill our dream and the
dream of future generations."
The Prelate, Executive Council, and St. Garabed Church Pastor and
Parish Council expressed their gratitude to the Dream Fund for their
generous grant which will certainly be of great assistance to the
realization of this endeavor.
