H.E. ARCH. MOUSHEGH MARDIROSSIAN, THE PRELATE RECIVED SHERIFF LEROY BACA

Los Angeles County Sheriff Leroy Baca visited the Western Prelacy of
the Armenian Apostolic Church of America on Thursday, July 22, and was
receivedby His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, the
Prelate. Dr. Hagop Der Megerdichian, the Vice Chairman of the Prelacy
Executive Council also attended the meeting.

Sheriff Baca explained that he had come to ask the cooperation of His
Eminence and other Armenian Community leaders in dealing with certain
fields of his mission. Taking into consideration that several towns
under his department’s jurisdiction had intense Armenian population,
he planed to form local committees composed of community
representatives and police force members in order to tackle with
juvenile problems. He proposed to form a central committee headed by
the spiritual leaders of the Armenian Apostolic Church who would
coordinate and oversee the proposed task in coordination with his
office.

His Eminence the Prelate welcomed the sheriff’s plans and good
intention. He told him that the Western Prelacy has a long experience
in this regards through the CASPS (Committee for Armenian Students in
Public School), a committee that functions under the auspices of the
Prelacy and provides advice and services to students that attend
public schools in Glendale and their parents.

The Prelate expressed full support to the proposed plan and said he
would do his utmost to achieve these goals.
