During the historic mission which was initiated and organized by His Holiness, through the eyes of his spiritual children the Pontiff saw the dilapidated Catholicosate destroyed by the genocidal Turks, the fortress, the capital city. In the ruins of the Catholicosate and the fortress the clergymen offered prayers for the souls of the Catholicoi who served in Sis, for Cilician rulers, and for the souls of all of our nation's martyrs. The Pontiff's moving and inspirational message, titled "Greetings from the historic Sis Catholicosate," was read by H.G. Bishop Torkom Donoyan. Through the eyes of an eyewitness, Bishop Torkom will impart the experiences, sentiments, discretion, tears, and triumphs associated with the mission which was revealed to the clergymen mere hours prior to their departure. The event is free to the public.
