The Central Committee of the Catholicosate of Cilicia sets priorities for
2014
Anelias - 25 January 2014. Following the meeting of the Council of
Religion, the Council of Laity met under the Presidency of His Holiness Aram
I. The members reviewed the programmes and budgets proposed by the General
Assembly and approved the following priorities for 2014: Construction
projects, preparatory activities for the 100th anniversary commemoration of
the Genocide, activities of the Committee on Protecting the Western Armenian
Language, the programme and budget of the Khatcher Kaloustian Pedagogical
Centre.
At the end of the deliberations of the two Councils, the Central Committee
met in plenary and highlighted the following concerns: Assistance to the
community in Syria to stay and rebuild its life, cooperation between the two
Holy Sees of Etchmiadzin and Cilicia on the basis of the decisions taken
during the last All Armenian Bishops conference and proposals related to the
dioceses of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.
His Holiness Aram I closed the meeting with the following words, " In
humility and without overrating our achievements, our task is to serve our
people by recovering the Spirituality of our Church in our daily lives,
promoting educational activities, safeguarding our cultural heritage,
serving our members in need and promoting ecumenical relations. We lack
neither commitment nor faith nor vision. What we lack is finances. I pray
and remain confident that our faithful will support the work of our Church
as approved by you, their representatives."
