CHAMLIAN SCHOOL EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS RECEIVE PRELATE'S BLESSING PRIOR TO
ARMENIA PILGRIMAGE
On Thursday, March 20, 2014, eighth grade students from Vahan and
Anoush Chamlian School visited the Prelacy to receive the blessings of H.E.
Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, in advance of their pilgrimage to
Armenia.
The Prelate was joined by Archpriest Fr. Nareg Pehlivanian and.
Rev. Fr. Vazken Atmajian. The students were accompanied by Vice-Principal,
Mrs. Rita Kaprielian, teachers, and parents.
The visit took place at "Dikran and Zarouhie Der Ghazarian" Hall.
Student, and Master of Ceremonies, Edgmin Rostamian, delivered opening
remarks, in which he stated to the Prelate that it was an honor to visit and
receive his blessings prior to their trip. He then invited two of his
classmates to talk about their upcoming pilgrimage to Armenia.
The first student, Aleeque Marselian, expressed joy at their visit
to the Prelacy, stating that the students regard the Prelacy as their home
and the Prelate as their spiritual father who always welcomes them warmly
like family, and how much they value the bond between the Prelacy and their
school. Speaking of their class trip, she stated how moving it would be to
spend Easter and April 24 in Armenia, at Etchmiadzin and Dzidzernagapert,
where they will honor the memory of our martyrs, and to see all the special
sites, like the gravesite of St. Mesrob Mashdots, Khor Virab, Sardarabad and
others. She concluded with a promise to love and respect our mother tongue,
to preserve our traditions and heritage, so that they are worthy of being
called the descendants of our forefathers.
The second student, Arman Hairapetyan, spoke of his numerous visits
to Armenia, stating that each time he returns it feels as though he is
returning home, and that he hopes to one day return permanently to his
homeland and his roots.
Two students, Nayree Panossian and Alina Lahian, recited poetry they
had written about Armenia.
Another student, Tania Buickians, spoke on the Genocide centennial
and how students are also preparing to commemorate the significant
anniversary along with Armenian people around the world. She stated that
her and her classmates have had discussions on the topic and exchanged ideas
for commemorative events, including participating in protests, rallies,
church services, write letters to the Turkish government, educate and
involve non-Armenian students, and bring together all upper grade Armenian
students in the area for a joint effort.
Finally, student Leanna Chraghchian conveyed her thoughts and
feelings on being a graduating student, expressing sadness that her dream of
continuing her education at an Armenian school will not be realized due to
the lack of an Armenian high school in the area.
The MC then invited the Prelate to convey his message and blessings.
His Eminence began by stating that the presence of the students, and
the deep, touching, and memorable program they presented was a blessing.
Thus, he commended and congratulated them, telling them how proud their
Vice-Principal, teachers, parents, and he personally was of them, and how it
was evident that they all had bright futures ahead. Speaking of their
pilgrimage, the Prelate expressed confidence that they would return from
Armenia inspired and more deeply rooted in their ethnic identity after
visiting such sacred sites as the birthplace of our faith, St. Etchmiadzin,
the Genocide memorial monument at Dzidzernagapert, the location of the
heroic battle of Sardarabad, and others.
As the students had spoken on the Genocide centennial, the Prelate
informed them that he had just returned from a meeting on that very subject.
His Eminence noted that the commemorations will not only remind the world of
our rights, they will show the world just how proactive and involved our
younger generations are in the pursuit of our cause, as proven by the
students' remarks and recitations earlier. In conclusion, quoting the
famous Bible verse "for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap", the
Prelate stated that love, reverence, and pride for our faith and heritage
are being planted in our youth, seeds from which we expect to reap abundant
harvest in the future when they become the leaders of our schools, churches,
and community organizations. The students promised to cultivate all that
their teachers and parents sow in them and grow to become exemplary
Christian Armenians. The Prelate thus thanked the educators for the
instruction they provide, and the parents for trusting their children to the
care of Prelacy Schools. The MC then announced that the students had a gift
for the Prelate as a token of gratitude, and invited some classmates to join
him in presenting the memento of St. Mesrob Mashdots.
The Prelate announced that he had a gift for them as well, Hrair
"Hawk" Khatcherian's photo book "Yergir 2 Yergir: A Journey to Historic
Armenia".
The program came to a close with a prayer for safe travel and
benediction by the Prelate, and the collective singing of "Cilicia".
