EASTER EVE CELEBRATED AT THE ACUSA CENTER
The Armenian Church University Students' Association (ACUSA) members
happily greeted His Holiness Aram I in their center in Antelias on Easter
Eve.
This youth movement, which works under the patronage of the Armenian
Church (Catholicosate of Cilicia), has always received special attention
from the Pontiffs of this Holy See. Driven by his great interest in the
Armenian youth, His Holiness Aram I particularly focused his attention on
their active participation in the life of the Armenian Church. ACUSA became
an important medium contributing to the Catholicosate's Youth Department and
youth movement, operating under the auspices of the Armenian Church, and
participating in international ecumenical meetings.
After the Easter Eve Service in the cathedral and dinner with the Seminary
students and Cilician Brotherhood members, the Catholicos visited the ACUSA
center accompanied by its spiritual advisor, Rev. Fr. Mesrob Sarkissian. The
Armenian youth received His Holiness with warm greetings on the joyful
occasion of Easter.
The Catholicos blessed the youth and praised their multi-faceted work,
including the creation of a socially safe environment for the Armenian
youth, providing social service to deprived Armenian families, publishing
the new volume of "Deghegadou" (the ACUSA publication) and establishing a
new website. His Holiness offered guidance on these projects to the ACUSA
members and its central committee.
The meeting also included the traditional "egg-game" and an Easter
reception during which ACUSA members thanked His Holiness for his Pontifical
care.
