Western Diocese

On July 26, 2010, the Primate, accompanied by Rev. Fr. Nerses Hayrapetyan visited the Armenian Summer Camp in Dunlap, California.

With the participation of Diocesan clergy, the Primate consecrated the cross stone (khatchkar) which was generously donated by Dn. Dr. and Mrs. Sarkis and Talin Mesrobian. He then presided over the blessing and dedication ceremony of the Boat House and delivered an inspirational message to the youth. We are pleased to inform that with a $40,000 donation, the Triple X Fraternity - Sequoia Chapter became the benefactors of the Boat House. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Melkonian became the donors of the walkway which was in memory of their father, Souren Melkonian.
