    INDIAN ARMENIANS CELEBRATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ENTHRONEMENT OF HIS HOLINESS KAREKIN II, CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS

    KOLKATA

    KOLKATA, NOVEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On 1st November,
    2009, the Indian Armenian community celebrated the 10th anniversary
    of enthronement of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and
    Catholicos of all Armenians. The event was held on the premises of
    the Holy Trinity Armenian Church, Kolkata. Very Rev. Father Khoren
    Hovhannisyan, pastor of Indian Armenians and manager of the Armenian
    College and Philanthropic Academy along with chairperson, Michael
    Dutt and Susan Ruben and Sunil Sobti, wardens of Mother Church of
    Holy Nazareth, Kolkata saw through all the arrangements of the day.

    In the morning Fr. Khoren conducted the Divine Liturgy. "By visiting
    India, His Holiness expressed his love for the Indian Armenians
    and showed that every single Armenian even in the remotest part of
    the world is important and dear to him. His Holiness brought love
    and spiritual awakening to his flock in India. It is difficult to
    express in words the greatness of His Holiness and to speak of his
    awe-inspiring presence. My reverence for him is much more than what
    words can express," said Reverend Hovhannisyan in his sermon. It
    was followed by a special prayer for the long life and health of
    His Holiness.

    Thereafter the faithful and guests joined Fr. Khoren in the inaugural
    ceremony and blessing of a charitable dispensary sponsored by the
    Armenian Church of Kolkata. The medical unit is named after "His
    Holiness KAREKIN II." It will have a qualified doctor and a nurse
    who will attend to the poor and the ailing and will also provide
    free medical treatment to them. Later a concert was put up by the
    ACPA choir and lunch served to the guests.
