HIS HOLINESS BLESSES THE CHILDREN AT THE REOPENING
OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Accompanied by their teachers, the Sunday school students of Antelias
visited His Holiness Aram I in the Veharan on November 11 to receive his
blessings. The children were guided by Rev. Torkom Donoyan and Rev. Ghevont
Pentezian from the Christian Education Department.

The children approached the Catholicos in turn to receive his blessings on
the occasion of the reopening of the Sunday School. They sang some of the
hymns they have studied, receiving the fatherly praise of His Holiness. The
children then sang the Pontifical hymn.

On this occasion the Catholicos highly praised the students, the teachers
and the administration of the Sunday School. He also commended the parents,
who have entrusted their children to the Armenian Church.

Over 100 students participate in the weekly sessions of the Sunday School in
Antelias.
