Divine Liturgy in Dublin
 
On October 28th, Primate visited Dublin Armenian Church Parish and celebrated Badarak for the Armenian Community. After the Liturgy, the community gathered together to enjoy lovely homemade food prepared by Dublin Parish members. The children of the Armenian Sunday School were able to get communion and blessing from Bishop Hovakim. The Liturgy was well attended by committed community members, including Honorary Counsel of Armenia, Mr Ohan Yerganharsian and foreign guests such as Dana Walrath who amazed the community members with her extensive knowledge and vocabulary in Armenian. Rita Sarafian and Aram Djanian spoke about their Pilgrimage to Armenia for the youth meeting in July of this year. In the end, the Primate thanked the Parish Council, led by Ayda Sarafian and its committed members for the wonderful job for reuniting the community and urge the others to continue their support.
