A memorial service was held at the Mother See in memory of Sargis and Amalia Karapetyans

At the end of the Sunday liturgy, a prayer was offered for the imprisoned Bishops Michael, Bagrat, and Mkrtich, for the benefactor Samvel Karapetyan, and for our compatriots held in prisons in Armenia and Baku for the defense of the homeland and the church. Under the presiding authority of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, a requiem mass was held in memory of the late Sargis and Amalia Karapetyans. The parents of national benefactor Samvel Karapetyan were distinguished educators, having educated several generations in their birthplace, Lori.
