Western Diocese

It is with deep sorrow that the Western Diocese informs the faithful of the passing of Mr. James Aljian. Mr Aljian is well known for his prominence in business, through his collaboration with his long time friend Mr. Kirk Krikorian. The Diocese remembers him as a faithful son of the Armenian Church. As His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian writes in his letter of condolence to Mr. Aljian’s survivors, “His passing away is a great loss for the Armenian American Community. Truly he was loved and respected by all.” May god bless and keep his soul.
