Close to 30 participants in the AGBU New York Summer
Internship Program visited the Diocesan Center on Wednesday evening, July 29,
where they received a tour of St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral and enjoyed dinner
with Diocesan Primate Archbishop Khajag Barsamian.
The young people were greeted on the plaza of St. Vartan
Cathedral by the Very Rev. Fr. Simeon Odabashian, Diocesan Vicar; Dn. Aram
Kaberjian; and Eric Vozzy of the Diocese’s Christian Education department. The
latter led them on a tour of the cathedral and answered questions about its
history and architecture.
Later in the evening, the interns enjoyed dinner and
conversation with Archbishop Barsamian, who spoke to the group about the
significance of the 100th year of remembrance of the Armenian Genocide and the
recent canonization of the Holy Martyrs of 1915. He noted that the martyrs
lived the Gospel of Christ, and that it is the new generation’s responsibility
to carry forward their legacy.
The Primate also spoke about his personal journey to the
priesthood, the ecumenical spirit of the Armenian Church, and the work of the
Eastern Diocese. Interns had the opportunity to ask questions.
