On Monday, 29th of December, 2008, a group 12 Lebanese children left to Vatican, in order to participate to the Holy Mass that will be held by Pope Benedict XVI on 1st of January, 2009.

The Armenian Catholic Mesrobian High School is proud to announce that Narod Adourian, a 6th grade Mesrobian student, is one of the children of the above mentioned group. She will stay in Vatican until the 5th of January, 2009.

The president of the benevolent organization DMS Onlus of Brescia, Italy, Prof. Angelo Bosio and his noble wife Prof. Barbara Bosio have notified the school with the arrangement: "We are happy to hear that the young Mesrobian student will spend her holiday in Vatican, receiving the blessing of the Papal Blessing with thousands of other students gathered from all around the world."

On this occasion, and in the name of the Lebanese children, DMS Onlus donates $10,000 to the Iraqi children, "who know what does war mean. We pray that the Holy Spirit keeps the children of the world and their families in safety and peace."

The donation will be handed over by our student Narod to the Holy Father, who in his turn will convey it to the Iraqi Catholic children.
