The Armenian Apostolic St. Hagop Church in Qamishli, Syria, celebrated its 90th anniversary with a ceremony led by Archbishop Magar Ashkarian and blessed by Catholicos Aram I. At- tendees included clergy, church repre- sentatives, officials, and many mem- bers of the community. Catholicos Aram I issued a Pontifi- cal Encyclical to the Armenian com- munity of Qamishli, congratulating them on this historic milestone. In his message, Catholicos Aram I reflected that for nine decades, under the arches of this sanctuary conse- crated by the blessed Papken Coadju- tor Catholicos, the faithful of Qamishli have preserved St. Hagop Church as a prosperous and radiant spiritual home. Catholicos Aram I noted that, espe- cially during these difficult times, the 90th anniversary of St. Hagop Church is more than symbolic. He affirmed it reflects steadfast faith, strong will, and determination—qualities that will help the community overcome challenges and achieve future successes.
