    Congratulations to H.E. Raphael Minassian on his appointment to this important and challenging post of Կաթողիկե Հայոց Առաջնորդ in Armenia, Georgia and Eastern Europe. His diocese now counts around 400,000 Armenians who are in communion with the Church of Rome. This is the largest concentration of Catholic Armenians in the world. May God grant him wisdom, strength and patience. My best wishes for a successful mission.
