Western Diocese

On Thursday, September 6^th, 2007, His Eminence Abp. Hovnan Derderian attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Pre-Kindergarten at the Manoogian Demirjian School. Accompanying the Primate were Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Yardemian, and Fr. Shnork Demirjian. The Primate presided over the ground blessing in the presence of the school’s generous benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Ardemis Nazarian, in whose name the school will be dedicated.

We are also very happy to inform the faithful that during the upcoming Third Pontifical Visitation of His Holiness Karekin II, a stone Khatchkar will be consecrated which will be later installed in the new chapel which is going to be constructed at the Manoogian Demirjian School. The consecration will take place on October 1^st, at the Western Diocese Headquarters.
