YEREVAN, DECEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. In the Flemish town of Geraardsbergen, Belgium, an Armenian Sunday school named after Komitas Vardapet has been opened next to the Armenian Apostolic St. Grigor Lusavorich Church initiated by the parish council.
As Armenpress Brussels correspondent informs, His Eminence Archbishop Khajak Parsamyan, Pontifical Delegate of Western Europe and Pastor and the Very Rev. Father Maghakia Beskisizian also attended the event.
At present, the school has 25 students, but the Parish Council of the church is confident that the number will increase. In various cities of Belgium where there is an established Armenian community, similar Sunday schools exist, and their mission is the same: the preservation of the Armenian identity.
