In commemoration of the 97th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, there will be a candlelight vigil on Tuesday, April 23, starting at the Pasadena City Hall and concluding at St. Gregory Armenian Apostolic Church.

The event is organized by the Gaidz Youth Organization in collaboration with the Armenian Council of America.

“A Walk to Remember” is a symbolic event to honor the memory of the 1.5 million victims of the first genocide perpetrated against humanity, a crime that remains unrecognized and subsequently unpunished, and people who are yet to find justice.

The event will begin at 6 pm as attendees will gather at St. Gregory Armenian Church located at 2215 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena and will be bussed to the City Hall where the silent march will begin.  After the silent march and at the same church grounds, the official program will begin at 9:00 pm which will include brief remarks by various speakers and community leaders.  This will be followed by requiem services and prayers delivered by Fr. Sarkis Petoyan, and facilitated by the church’s parish council.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact [email protected] or visit our website at www.Gaidz.org.  We urge our community members to support this event.
