PRELATE'S NEW YEAR AND CHRISTMAS DINNER
WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS
- MAJOR DONATIONS INCLUDED PRELACY SCHOOLS
The Consul General of the Republic of Armenia, representatives of Armenian
Organizations and many dignitaries, together with the sponsors and the members
of the Western Prelacy `Family' celebrated the traditionalArmenian
Christmas Eve at the Bagramian Hall in Montebello, thus expressing support to the
Western Prelacy and the schools functioning under its jurisdiction.
The Prelate's traditional New Year and Christmas Dinner on January6, 2005,
was a complete success in many ways. The dignitaries and the representatives
celebrated the event with His Eminence Arch. Moushegh Mardirossian and
Prelacy Councils, thus expressing their support to the Prelacy mission. Moreover,
taking into consideration that His Holiness Aram I Catholicos of the Holy See
of Cilicia has dedicated the year 2005 as the Year of The Armenian Schools,
several generous donations to our Prelacy schools gained a special meaning.
It is worthwhile to mention several generous donations made on this event,
leaving further details to a later press release:
- Mrs. Ashkhen Pilavjian made a donation of $200,000 to sponsor the
ARS Preschool of the San Fernando Valley. Her name will be added to the name
of the school.
- Mr. Charles Keyan, a philanthropist, who had established a
scholarship fund of $50,000 for the Messrobian High School in Montebello last year,
raised the fund to a sum of $100,000.
- Mrs. Rose Kasimian made a donation of $150,000 to the Prelacy in
memory of her late husband, Mr. Kegham Kasimian. Mrs. Kasimian will be
sponsoring the Media Department of the Prelacy as well as a Khachkar and several
religious publications.
- The Compatriotic Union of Ourfa made a donation of $50,000 to
sponsor the Western Memorial Wall of the Prelacy Building, as well as a Khachkar
and a fountain on the premises.
- Mr. And Mrs. John and Asdghig Bedrosian, one of the major sponsors
of the Prelacy, who traditionally host the dinner event, also made a
generous donation to the newly established Mortgage Burning Fund for the Prelacy
Building.
