CATHOLICOS ARAM I COMMENDS THE BOULGHOURDJIAN FAMILY

National benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Melkon Boulghourdjian visited Catholicos
Aram I in his office in Antelias on April 17. The Boulghourdjian family,
whose support for the Armenian Relief Society of Lebanon has been essential
for the charity organization's activities, has always been praised by the
Catholicoses of the Holy See of Cilicia.

Receiving the couple, the Pontiff once again stressed how the Armenian
community of Lebanon has benefited immensely from the services of the "Araxy
Boulghourdjian" socio-medical center both during the devastating years of
the Civil War and the acute economic crisis of the present. His Holiness
also grabbed the opportunity to uphold the role of the Armenian Relief
Society of Lebanon in the community's life and praised the dedication of its
volunteers.
