Western Diocese

On February 4, 2008, His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese, paid a pastoral visit to the Armenian Church in Seattle, Washington, whereupon he celebrated the Divine Liturgy, assisted by the Parish Priest, Fr.Yeghia Isayan, and delivered the sermon.
The Primate honored Fr. Yeghia Isayan with a pectoral cross in appreciation of his dedicated service to the Church. The 15th anniversary of the ordination to priesthood of Fr. Isayan will be celebrated in the coming months. The Primate praised Dn. Levon Isibov, Secretary Sonia Danielian, and Song-writer Larisa Mkrdichian for their service to the Church. During the reception, the Primate offered his words of encouragement and appreciation to the members of the choir.
During the visit, the Primate met with the Parish Council. The construction of a church for the parish was the main topic discussed during the meeting. We gladly inform the faithful that the construction of the Armenian Church in Seattle, WA, begins in 2009.
