WESTERN PRELACY MAKES A RECORD ALLOCATION OF
$800,000 TO PRELACY SCHOOLS
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, and the Executive
Council with great joy announce that the Western Prelacy has allocated a
record amount of $800,000 to Prelacy Schools. This allocation serves to
alleviate financial concerns of our Schools brought on by global economic
conditions. The first portion of this amount was distributed to Prelacy
Schools prior to the New Year.
This allocation was made possible by generous donations received at
the Pontifical Banquet in honor of His Holiness Catholicos Aram I during the
Pontifical Visit of October 2011. We also announce that a fund for our
Schools will be established at the Prelacy with a portion of the allocation.
We are confident that this fund will grow year by year with the
contributions of our faithful community.
We are pleased also that on the occasion of the Pontifical Visit of
His Holiness, we were able to secure substantial support for the
Catholicosate Seminary, our Prelacy, and our Churches, specifically Holy
Cross Cathedral of Montebello, St. Gregory Church of San Francisco, Holy
Trinity church of Fresno and St. Garabed Church of Las Vegas, for which we
once again thank our sponsors and donors.

commitment of the Prelacy's volunteer committee members, wished them a
