Service to honour His Eminence
A LARGE turnout was expected at the Armenian Apostolic Church of Holy
Resurrection in Chatswood for yesterday’s Episcopal funeral of the
late Primate of the Armenian Church of Australia and New Zealand.
His Eminence, Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, died suddenly of a heart
attack on September 22, aged 66.
A special requiem service was to be held at the Macquarie St church on
Wednesday at 7pm, and open casket viewing, with Divine Liturgy,
funeral service and final consecration yesterday, starting at 10am.
Later, the late Primate was to be laid to rest in a designated plot
behind in the Armenian Section of Macquarie Park Cemetery.
Distinguished guests from Australia and New Zealand and three
Archbishops from Jerusalem, India and Armenia, were expected to
attend.
A moment’s silence was held at Willoughby Council chambers last week
for the man who had made Willoughby and Chatswood his home for a
number of years.
Willoughby Mayor Pat Reilly said His Eminence was a man of great
humour and great wisdom.
