HIS HOLINESS ARAM I MEETS WITH THE OFFICERS OF THE
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE WESTERN PRELACY

LOS ANGELES, ANTELIAS – Towards the end of his pastoral visit, His Holiness
Aram I held a working meeting with the officers of the National Executive
Council, Prelate Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Vahe Yacoubian and Khajak
Dikijian. After assessing the impact of the pastoral visit, the
representatives of the National Executive Council thanked His Holiness for
the visit because through the messages, lectures and declarations, the
Catholicos reinvigorated the community, strengthened relations with
churches, politicians, academics and other leaders; by emphasizing the
importance of Armenian schools, and by encouraging people to pursue the
Armenian Cause, His Holiness galvanized the community.

After thanking the members of the National Executive Council of the Western
Prelacy, the principals and teachers of the schools, as well as the members
of the community for their commitment to the Armenian Church, His Holiness
Aram I encouraged the members of the Armenian Community to remain united and
prepare the next generation of leaders in the Diaspora.

The meeting ended with a dinner offered by Mr. Vahe Yacoubian in honor of
His Holiness Aram I.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
