HIS HOLINESS ARAM I PROCLAIMS 2007
"THE YEAR OF THE ARMENIAN LANGUAGE"
In line with a previously established tradition, His Holiness Aram I
proclaimed 2007 to be the "Year of the Armenian Language." The Pontiff's
Encyclical will be read during the Sunday Mass in the St. Gregory the
Illuminator Cathedral on January 17.
In 2007 The Catholicosate of Cilicia and all its dioceses and institutions
will focus on the Armenian language. Several events and initiatives
organized by the Catholicosate, its dioceses and Armenian schools in the
Armenian communities throughout the Diaspora will bring under the spotlight
the Armenian language, its preservation and development and specially its
correct usage by the new generations.
The Catholicos' Encyclical will be read from the altars of all the churches
in the dioceses of the Catholicosate of Cilicia during the next few weeks,
inviting the Armenian nation to reassess the unique importance of their
mother language in Armenian life both in Armenia and the Diaspora.
