YEREVAN, APRIL 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The annual building program of His
Holiness Karekin II starts on April 10 at Etchmiadzin’s Gevorgian
theological seminary. Catholicos of All Armenians will give his
patriarchal blessing to this program.

Volunteers from various countries will arrive in Armenia in order to
participate in construction work together with local volunteers,
donators, individuals and clergymen of the Armenian Apostolic
Church. The work will last from April to October of this year,
providing decent housing to 37 families, which will symbolize the
Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and 36 dioceses of the Armenian
Apostolic Church.

To recap, the Armenian Apostolic Church signed an agreement with
Habitat for Humanity International in April 2006. (Habitat is
a Christian charitable organization whose aim is to eliminate
homelessness). Thanks to the first annual building program of His
Holiness Karekin II, 24 families in Gavar and 13 families in other
Armenian marzes were provided with houses.
