Under the Auspices of His Eminence, Archbishop Khajag Hagopian,
Prelate of the Armenian Prelacy of Canada, Divine Liturgy was served
at the Bon Pasteur Catholic Church in Laval in celebration of the
feast of Sourp Kevork on October 1, 2006.

The special service brought together clergy members of different
denominations, as well multi-level politicians and representatives
of several local organizations, which was followed by a minute of
silence and prayer for the victims of the overpass collapse in Laval.

A special banquet for the feast of Sourp Kevork in tribute to Laval’s
Sourp Kevork Armenian Apostolic Church was also held the previous
evening at the Armenian community centre in Laval.

After the special ceremony, His Eminence also joined other community
members at the opening of an exhibition "Voice of the Caravans,"
featuring the works of Canadian Armenian artist, Perouz Seferian.

The exhibit was held in honour of Armenia’s 15th Independence
anniversary and was organized by Armenia’s Embassy in Canada, in
collaboration with Canadian Armenian organizations, held at the
Armenian General Benevolent Union’s centre in Montreal.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
