George Tumanjan being presented with his award.
LA CRESCENTA-On Tuesday, June 25, Western Prelate Archbishop Moushegh
Mardirossian visited benefactor George Tumanjan to present to him the
Pontifical Encyclical of His Holiness Catholicos Aram I and the Knight
of Cilicia medal, which was bestowed upon him in response to a request
by the Prelate. Holy Cross Cathedral Pastor Rev. Fr. Ashod Kambourian
and Board of Trustees Chair Mrs. Goharik Gabriel joined in the visit.
Tumanjan family members were also present for the presentation.
"George Tumanjan has dedicated his life to helping others and to
doing God's work," the Church said in their statement.
"For over five decades, he has served humbly and selflessly, in the
example of a true Christian. He has served the Armenian Apostolic
Church and, particularly, the Holy Cross Church and later Cathedral
for over fifty years. Through his membership on the Board of Trustees,
Finance, and Construction Committees, he facilitated the construction
of Holy Cross Cathedral in 1981. His desire to have young parishioners
gather for various activities inspired him to build the Tumanjan
Youth Center."
George Tumanjan's philanthropic efforts are numerous. Earlier this
year he surprised everyone by generously donating the entire cost
of the Cathedral's renovation. Several years ago he contributed
the funds for the renovation of the youth center, which bears his
name. His generosity extends beyond the church to family, friends,
employees, and various organizations. He is known in the Armenian
and non-Armenian communities alike as a humanitarian, and has been
honored by the Boy Scouts of America and the YMCA.
In recognition and appreciation of his lifetime of devoted service
and benevolence, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I has awarded George
Tumanjan the "Knight of Cilicia" honor and medal.
