CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE GENOCIDE COMMEMORATION

Sacramento2On Monday, April 7th, the annual Advocacy Day organized by the Armenian National Committee Western Region was held in Sacramento, bringing together activists from across California to the State Capitol to join the California State Senate and State Assembly in commemorating the Armenian Genocide.

Each year on this occasion, the Prelate is invited to deliver the invocation at the State Senate Genocide commemoration.

Given that His Eminence was in Lebanon at the time, Rev. Fr. Vahan Gosdanian attended on his behalf and read the Prelate’s invocation.

In the invocation, the Prelate remembered the victims of the Armenian Genocide and also victims of all genocides, particularly the innocent civilians being killed in Syria today, praying for God to grant peace to the souls of the martyrs, for His protection to be upon all those caught in the crossfire of conflicts around the world, and for a world where people can coexist in peace, with mutual respect and tolerance for one another.

The Prelate also thanked the public officials for designating this time each year to honor the memory of our martyrs and for their continued solidarity with the Armenian-American community in pursuit of our cause.
