We are honored to present the message of Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America to Orran on the occasion of its annual gala of October 3, 2026.
With heartfelt joy and gratitude, we extend our warmest congratulations and blessings to Orran on the occasion of its 18th Annual Gala.
Orran’s mission is a beautiful expression of Christian love in action. For countless children and families in Armenia facing hardship, Orran has become a place of refuge, care, and hope. By providing nourishment, education, guidance, and a loving environment, Orran does more than meet immediate needs. It restores dignity, nurtures dreams, and opens doors to a brighter future.
We have personally witnessed the extraordinary dedication and compassion of Mrs. Armine Hovannisian, whose tireless commitment to the children of Armenia continues to inspire us. Through her leadership and the devoted efforts of her team, countless young lives have been touched, reminding us that every child deserves to be loved, valued, and given the opportunity to flourish.
As we gather in celebration of this noble mission, we express our heartfelt appreciation to Orran’s benefactors and supporters. Your generosity is an investment not only in the lives of these children, but also in the future of our beloved homeland.
May Almighty God continue to bless Armine, the entire Orran family, and all those who extend their hands and hearts to this sacred work. May Orran continue to be a home of love, a source of hope, and a beacon of light.
Prayerfully,
Archbishop Hovnan Derderian
Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America
