Catholicos of All Armenians joins Pope's call for prayer and fasting for South Sudan and DRC
An Ecumenical Prayer for Peace was offered today under the presidency of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians in the Mother Cathedral, dedicated to the establishment peace in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The Prayer comes following an invitation from Pope Francis for a day of fasting and prayer around the world on February 23 and the call for non-Catholic churches to join him.
As Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin reported, present at the Prayer for Peace were members of the Council of the Spiritual Leaders and the Mother Cathedral.
The event is aimed at seeking peace for the world and especially in countries where the Christian populations are in dire need of peace and security.
