On Monday, October 13, the 14th annual Gerald and Mark Golf Classic was held at The Peninsula Golf and Country Club in San Mateo. The annual charity event is hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Hank and Rita Khachaturian (Torian) in memory of their sons Gerald and Mark.
The Prelate attended the Awards Dinner, delivered the invocation and conveyed his remarks stating, “We have all come here for a common purpose, and that is to pay tribute to Gerald and Mark and to lend our support to the Torian family and their philanthropic endeavors.” He commended the hosts for their ongoing generosity to a wide range of charitable causes through their Khachaturian Foundation and prayed for the Lord to grant rest to their sons Gerald and Mark. The Prelate also commended the enduring support and encouragement of the guests who participate in the worthy cause year after year.
On the morning of Tuesday, October 14, the Prelate visited Krouzian-Zekarian-Vasbouragan Armenian School in San Francisco where he met with Principal Grace Andonian, administrators, faculty, and students. Accompanied by Archpriest Fr. Khoren Habeshian, Pastor of St. Gregory Church, the Prelate visited the Kindergarten and 8th grade classes and spoke with the students about the legacy of our Holy Translators. Later, the entire student body came together for a short assembly with presentations by the Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 6th grades in celebration of Armenian Culture Month. In his message, the Prelate commended and blessed the KZV family and wished them continued successes. His Eminence then joined the students for lunch.
