HIS HOLINESS ARAM I PRAISES THE DEDICATION OF CILICIAN BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS

His Holiness Aram I highly praised the dedicated service of Cilician
Brotherhood members V. Rev. Fr. Meghrig Parikian and V. Rev. Fr. Krikor
Chiftjian, granting them the honour to wear the purple cloak henceforth.

V. Rev. Fr. Parikian currently serves as the pastor of the St. Asdvadzadzine
Church of Toronto in the diocese of Canada. V. Rev. Fr. Chiftjian is the
director of the Catholicosate of Cilicia’s Communications Department and the
editor of "Hasg", the official periodical of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.

In his Pontifical Encyclicals addressed to the two brotherhood members of
the Armenian Church, His Holiness commends their loyal dedication of over
two decades, adding that this bestowal would surely be an incentive to serve
the church with renewed commitment.
