    WESTERN DICOESE FORWARDS INITIAL INSTALLMENT OF $20,000 THROUGH
    AMERICAN RED CROSS
    TO KATRINA VICTIMS

    First Installment of $30,000 of Aid to St. John Garabed

    Armenian Church in Baton Rouge Sent Last Week



    As the community and faithful are well aware, victims of the
    devastating Hurricane Katrina are still in dire need of help. Thanks
    to the efforts initiated by His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian,
    Primate of the Western Diocese, a Diocesan-wide fundraising is still
    in effect in the Western Diocese.

    In his initial plea the Primate urged the faithful to lend a helping
    hand to the victims, as a result of which a large number of faithful
    sent their contributions to both the Diocese, as well as directly to
    the Red Cross.

    As a first installment of aid, the Western Diocese has forwarded a
    check for $20,000 representing sums collected thus far, to the Red
    Cross.

    We would like to remind the faithful that during the tsunami in the
    Indian Ocean last year, the Western Diocese organized a similar
    fundraising thanks to which the Diocese contributed $28,100.55 to the
    American Red Cross. We once again make a plea to the faithful of the
    Diocese to contribute and support the fundraising efforts, to help
    the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Let us recall that following the
    1988 earthquake in Armenia several countries came to our immediate
    assistance, with humanitarian aid. It is now our turn to do the same,
    for all those who have suffered.

    We extend our gratitude to the faithful of the Western Diocese who
    have already contributed to this effort.

    Checks can be made payable to:

    Armenian Church Western Diocese (In Memo: Hurricane Katrina)

    3325 N. Glenoaks Boulevard

    Please contact the Diocese at (818) 558-7474, for further
    information.
