June 13, 2005 – The head of the world’s Armenian church is in Fresno
for a few days, worshiping with the faithful and speaking with city
leaders.
“This man is the symbol of the church,” says Fresno City Councilmember
Tom Boyajian.
Monday, Karekin II was greeted by Fresno’s deputy mayor at Fresno
City Hall.
In attendance were several city leaders to meet and greet his holiness.
Karekin II is essentially the pope to seven million people, including
50,000 in the Central Valley.
He will be making several appearances in the Valley, including at
Children’s Hospital.
