    THE DIOCESE OF CYPRUS OBSERVES WEEK OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

    The Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia, His Holiness Aram I has declared
    2008 to be the year of Christian Education. Consequently, events dedicated
    to Christian Education were organized throughout the week of 19-23 November
    in the Diocese of Cyprus due to the collaborative efforts of the
    Catholicosate's Christian Education Department and the Religious Council of
    the Diocese of Cyprus. The events were held under the auspices of the
    Pontifical Vicar to the Diocese, Archbishop Varoujan Hergelian.

    The director of the Catholicosate's Christian Education Department, Father
    Torkom Donoyan, delivered lectures in three cities in Cyprus- Nicosia,
    Larnaca and Limasol- around the general theme "The Year of Christian
    Education; An opportunity to connect to the Gospel." Father Donoyan also
    held discussions with the youth on "The Gospel, The Armenian Church and
    moral issues". He visited the "Nareg" school and talked with the students
    about their Christian formation.

    The "Week of Christian Education" concluded with the Sunday mass, which
    collided with the feast of the Presentation to the Temple of the Holy Mother
    of God.
