His Holiness Karekin Ii, To Bring Blessings To Youth Conference In March

The Western Diocese of the Armenian Church, under the leadership of Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate, is pleased to announce a Youth Rally and Christian Conference to take place March 10, 11 and 12 at the diocesan headquarters.

“Embracing Our Faith, in a Changing World” is the title of this three-day event. This outreach is aimed at youth 18 to 35, young professionals, young families and the community at large, giving them an opportunity to “Reclaim” an ancient faith in the world today. Timed during the Lenten Season, this conference will offer participants an opportunity to grow spiritually and find peace that comes from faith in Jesus Christ.

“Given the rapid changes in the world, the Armenian Apostolic Church offers a time-proven (2,000 years) tradition of faith in Jesus Christ,” says event organizer Fr. Vazken Movsesian. “Embracing that faith is the challenge of the day. This Conference provides the necessary spiritual tools to move from the secular to the sacred; to find comfort, strength and courage to live the Christian life.”

All conference events – classes, meditations, service-project, worship services, morning hike, art project will be in line with the theme “Embracing Our Faith in a Changing World,” providing time for instruction, expression, introspection, artistic exploration and fellowship. International participation is welcome.

The culmination of the Conference will take place on March 12. His Holiness, Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians is making a special trip to bring his blessings and lead the rally in prayer and understanding. He will celebrate the Divine Liturgy at the conclusion, making this an unforgettable event.
