Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia Seminary responds to the needs of the
Diaspora
Antelias – In order to remain a major pillar in safeguarding the Armenian
spiritual and cultural heritage, the seminary regularly adapts its curricula
to respond to the needs of the Diaspora. In 2013, several seminarians became
acolytes, sub-deacons, deacons, priests and a married priest.
Because of the situation in Syria and the region, many seminarians could not
join their families for a short vacation. Hence, the directorate of the
Seminary instituted a new summer school programme from 1 July to 28
September. During the two six-week semesters, the students will follow the
following courses: Old and New Testament Studies, History of the Armenian
Church; History of the Catholicosate of Cilicia; languages: classical and
western Armenian, Arabic, English, French; painting, singing and piano
lessons.
Through its summer school, The Catholicosate of Cilicia aims at preparing
better qualified spiritual and community leaders and invites parents to
encourage the youth to enroll in the seminary.
