‘Unite the people under the arches of the Church’ – Catholicos’ message to clergy

On November 19, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, met with the clergy of the Gugark Diocese, accompanied by Bishop Hovhannes Hakobyan, the head of the diocese.

As reported by the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the Head of the Armenian Apostolic Church blessed the clergy and urged them to serve the people fearlessly and with a deep awareness of their spiritual calling, uniting them under the arches of the Church.

In this challenging period, His Holiness instructed the spiritual pastors to make every effort to strengthen national and spiritual values in society, as well as to affirm the spirit of love and solidarity.
