On Friday, October 26, 2012, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, welcomed H.E. Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan, Prelate of the Eastern U.S., who is currently on a brief visit to the Western U.S.
The two Prelates discussed general issues of concern to both Prelacies and collaborative efforts under the umbrella of the Holy See of Cilicia, the efforts of their respective Prelacies with regards to providing aid to the Syrian-Armenian community, and the commemoration of the Genocide Centennial. They also discussed the Ghevontiants Clergy Conference which the Western Prelacy host early next year with the participation of the three North American Prelacies. Each Prelacy holds a clergy conference annually on the Feast of Ghevontiants, and every two years the three Prelacies hold a joint conference with the participation of their respective Prelates and clergy members.
By the invitation of the Prelate, on Sunday, October 28, Archbishop Choloyan will deliver the sermon at St. Gregory Church in San Francisco.
