    Today at 6:00 PM, ACYO (Armenian Church Youth Organization)
    members will offer a special prayer for the repose of the
    souls of the victims of 9/11 and in remembrance of the
    tragic events that took place on this date eight years ago.
    His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate,
    accompanied by Diocesan Clergy, will lead the special prayer
    during the first day of Senior ACYO Sports Weekend in Costa
    Mesa.




    The following statement was issued by the Primate on the
    eighth anniversary of 9/11:
    `The victims of September 11, 2001 should always be
    remembered in our prayers. We cannot live a careless life.
    Today we remember especially the beloved ones of the victims
    of 9/11 who continue to suffer for their great loss during
    that tragic day. `If one member suffers, all suffer
    together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together'
    (1 Corinthians 12: 26). These words of Apostle Paul apply to
    us all. We pray for peace in the world, for people who
    suffer in wars, for children who are deprived from food and
    live in dreadful poverty, but above all we pray for the
    protection of America, as a beacon of hope and freedom to
    the world.'
