PanARMENIAN.Net - Earlier this week, Western Prelate Archbishop
Moushegh Mardirossian visited the Las Vegas parish community to
finalize details of the construction of St. Garabed Church that is
set to begin soon, Asbarez reports.
On Thursday, July 18, the Prelate, accompanied by Executive Council
member and Prelacy Building Committee Chair Vahan Bezdikian, met with
Parish Pastor Archpriest. Fr. Avedis Torossian, Parish Council Chair
Adroushan Armenian and members, and members of the parish Building
Committee Levon Gulbenkian and Koko Darakjian.
As reported by the Church Building Committee, to date all permits for
the construction of the Church have been granted and construction
has been set to begin in August. The completion of the project is
expected to be in May of 2013.
The Prelate shared this news with the Church benefactor Larry Barnes,
who was equally pleased with the progress of the project.
Arch. Mardirossian highly commended the Pastor, Parish Council, and
Building Committee members who are diligently overseeing each phase
of this project, and wished that the progress continues smoothly
until its final completion in the coming year.
The construction of St. Garabed Church and Cultural Center has two
phases. The Church and adjacent hall will form a complex which will be
the spiritual and cultural center of the community. The construction
of the hall was completed over a year ago, and it is where Divine
Liturgy is celebrated for the time being. During his Pontifical Visit
in October of last year, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I blessed the
foundation of the Church and consecrated the dome cross.
