The special Centennial Celebration of the Birth of the Late Catholiocs Vasken I will be held at the Western Diocese on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, starting at 7:30 PM. His Holiness Vasken I, of blessed memory, was one of the most distinguished leaders of the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church in the recent memory of the Armenian people.  The late Catholicos was born in Bucharest in 1908. His Holiness led the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church from 1955 to 1994 as the Catholicos and Supreme Patriarch of All Armenians. During the Communist regime, the Armenian Church endured persecution and financial hardship. Despite the numerous challenges, His Holiness was able to successfully lead the Church through those difficult times.There are many Centennial Celebrations on this auspicious occasion, organized by the Armenian Government, the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and various Dioceses, scheduled to take place throughout the world.
