Some follow-up items - and Catholicos Kareken II, Supreme Patriarch of all Armenians!

JERUSALEM: 9th May 2008 -- Just to ensure that the correct facts are recorded with regard to Mongolia's recent sdb history: Fr Vecchi, Rector Major at the time, asked Fr Luciano Odorico, then Councillor for the Missions, to visit Mongolia and see the possibilities of a presence. From there on the rest of the information as recorded yesterday makes sense, including the visit from the then Provincial of KOR etc. etc.
    News is trickling in from Myanmar, but does not essentially alter earlier information.  Damages to the location then mentioned appear to have been loss of roofing, meaning bedrooms were exposed to the elements with obvious consequences.  Various agricultural projects which help raise funds locally were destroyed, leaving them without that important means of support.  But further details are hard to come by.

    ECUMENISM AND ARMENIA
    You may have noticed in yesterday's ANS news that The UPS gave a doctorate 'Honoris Causa' yesterday to the supreme patriarch of all Armenians,  His Holiness, the Orthodox supreme patriarch of all Armenians, Karekin II.  In his response, His Holiness thanked '
 the Catholic Church for its contribution to the formation of young Armenian priests giving them the opportunity to pursue their education in institutions of higher education'.
    It is interesting to note that while this was happening in Rome, quite an extraordinary ecumenical gesture when you think about it, Salesian and Armenian seminarians were battling it out (read = helping one another to pursue education in institutions of higher education!) on a football field in the Old City of Jerusalem.  The Armenians lost 6-4!  'Friendlies' of this kind are an occasional happening in the Holy City, especially now that the Salesian seminary is located in New Jerusalem.  The Armenians are amongst the friendliest in the ecumenical scene in Jerusalem.
