On the afternoon of Friday, February 7, 2025, H.E. Archbishop Kegham Khacherian, Prelate of the Western Prelacy of the United States, welcomed representatives from the Armenian Ecclesiastical Brotherhood Church at the Western Prelacy. The delegation was led by Brother Avo Kabakjouzian, Chairman of the Armenian Ecclesiastical Brotherhood Church.
Brother Avo Kabakjouzian first noted that, while they had originally planned their traditional congratulatory visit to the Prelate for the first weeks of January in celebration of the holiday season, the devastating fires in Pasadena had caused a delay in their visit to the Western Prelacy headquarters.
During the meeting, H.E. Archbishop Khacherian expressed his sympathies for the emotional toll and material devastation caused by the fires in Pasadena and surrounding areas. Emphasizing the importance of revitalizing national and spiritual traditions, H.E. Archbishop Khacherian extended his appreciation and fatherly blessings to the Armenian Ecclesiastical Brotherhood for their commitment to preserving these traditions and customs, wishing the entire Armenian community of the region a safe, unharmed, and prosperous year.
In anticipation of Great Lent, H.E. Archbishop Khacherian also familiarized himself with the spiritual and humanitarian activities, programs, ongoing projects, and future initiatives, of Brotherhood Church offering relevant guidance.
At the conclusion of the visit, the Brotherhood representatives expressed their desire for H.E. Archbishop Kegham Khacherian to bestow his blessed visit upon the Brotherhood Church during the holy days of Lent and to join them in prayer.
