On April 24 multi-denominational Mass will be held in Montebello
The Armenian Genocide United Commemoration Committee announced that on Friday, April 24 a multi-denominational Mass will be held at the Montebello Martyrs' monument.
The Mass will be followed by a political rally and commemorative program during which a number of public officials representing local, county, state and federal governments will address the audience, said an announcement issued Friday by the organizing committee.
After the political rally, a requiem service will take place at the monument under the direction of the clerical leaders of the three Armenian Christian denominations.
During both the Mass and the political rally, the public may place flowers at the monument, the organizers said.
"It is of the utmost importance that California's Armenian community clearly articulates its just demands upon the international community of nations, all the while increasing pressure upon Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide," said the announcement.
The committee appealed to the public to attend the event in large numbers.
