Archbishop Hagopian Re-elected as Prelate for Another Term 
His Eminence, Archbishop Khajag Hagopian, was re-elected as Prelate of the Armenian Prelacy of Canada for another four-year term by the Canadian Armenian National Assembly Representatives (CANAR) in Toronto on May 7-8, 2010.
First elected in February 2004, this is Archbishop Hagopian’s third term as Prelate. He returned to serve the Canadian Armenian community in 2002, when He was still a Bishop, and was appointed by His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenian Catholicosate, as the Locum Tenens of the Canadian Prelacy. Archbishop Hagopian was ordained as a celibate priest in 1968 and received the title of Vartabed (Very Reverend) in 1971 and was appointed as Bishop in June of 1997 by His Holiness Aram I. Throughout his years of servitude, His Eminence led Armenian communities in the Middle East, the United States and Canada, and was the first parish priest of the newly established St. Mary Church in Toronto back in 1983. |
