    PRELATE AND EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEET WITH BOARDS OF TRUSTEES OF PRELACY
    PARISHES

    In the past month, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate,
    and Executive Council have been visiting Prelacy parishes to meet with
    Boards of Trustees and discuss issues pertaining to each respective parish.
    The main purpose of these visits is for the new Executive Council
    (elected at the Representatives Assembly in April), to become acquainted
    with the representatives of each church, and also to gain information about
    the activities and endeavors of each parish community.
    The first of these meetings took place nearly a month ago with Forty
    Martyrs Church in Orange County and the North Hollywood Parish.
    On Tuesday, July 10, 2012, the Prelate and Executive Council met
    with the Board of Trustees and Delegates of St. Sarkis Church in Pasadena.
    During their discussion, great consideration was given to youth and Sunday
    School activities, and the importance of strengthening these fields of
    activity.
    The visits will continue in the coming weeks and will cover all
    Prelacy Churches and parishes.


    PRELATE VISITS THE STUDENTS OF HOLY TRINITY CHURCH VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IN
    FRESNO

    On Monday, July 9, 2012, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian,
    Prelate, departed for Fresno to visit the annual Vacation Bible School (VBS)
    organized by Holy Trinity Church. Each year, this event brings together
    kids, teens, and adults to discover God's love for His children through
    educational and fun activities geared towards our young church members.
    This year's VBS began on Sunday, July 8 and continued until Thursday, July
    12.
    The Prelate's visit began with dinner with the children and their
    parents. Joining them were Parish Pastor Rev. Fr. Vahan Gosdanian, Board of
    Trustees Chair Mr. Varoujan Der Simonian and members, Delegates, and
    Executive Council member Mr. Bill Saatjian.
    His Eminence then delivered his message to the children on the theme
    "SKY: Everything is Possible with God". The focus of his message was to
    trust God at all times; no matter how you feel, where you are, what people
    do, or what happens, to trust in God. To teach the children this important
    message, the Prelate told them about the raising of Lazarus and of the
    boundless love and power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    The Prelate continued his meeting with the children by interacting
    with them at the different VBS stations.
    In the evening, the Prelate had an opportunity to meet with the
    Church Pastor, Board, Delegates, and Deacons to discuss various issues
    pertaining to the parish.


    PRELATE WELCOMES AUTHOR ALICE NAVASARGIAN

    On Friday, July 6, 2012, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian,
    Prelate, welcomed to the Prelacy author Mrs. Alice Navasargian, who had come
    to present the Prelate with her latest book "The Immortals": A Pictorial
    Anthology of Historiographic Works and a Brief History of Armenia and
    Armenians in Persia. This is the author's third book devoted to Armenian
    contributions to the arts.
    Executive Council Chair Mrs. Rima Boghossian and Ladies Auxiliary
    members Mrs. Dzovig Zetlian participated in the meeting.
    The Prelate thanked Mrs. Navasargian for the book, commended her for
    her dedication in this field, and also thanked her for her years-long
    support and encouragement of the Prelacy's endeavors.
    Given that H.H. Catholicos Aram I has proclaimed the year 2012 as
    the "Year of the Armenian Book", the Prelate extended an invitation to the
    author to participate in a future Prelacy event dedicated to the Armenian
    Book, where her latest book will also be highlighted.
