On Sunday 19 February 2023, we had a very special guest celebrant for The Feast of Poon Paregentan. The Very Reverend Father Movses Sargsyan, Head Chaplain of the Republic of Armenia Armed Forces Ministry, was the celebrant and homilist on this day. In the spirit of this festive day, the congregation witnessed the blessing of two unique candle holders donated by the Kozanian Family.
At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, a Pontifical Prayer (Hayrabedagan Maghtank) was offered to mark the name day of His Holiness Karekin II, on the occasion of Vartanants, which was celebrated on Thursday 16 February.
