On October 21, 2026, Mesrobian School solemnly celebrated the Feast of the Holy Translators, honoring the historical significance of the creation of the Armenian alphabet, the remarkable achievements of Saint Mesrob Mashdots and Saint Sahak Bartev, and the enduring mission of preserving and developing the Armenian language and culture.

On this special occasion, students gathered in the school courtyard before the monument dedicated to Saint Mesrob Mashdots. The ceremony was attended by Rev. Fr. Sahag Keshishian, Chaplain of Mesrobian; Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Aprahamian, Assistant Parish Priest of the Holy Savior Church; Deacon Boghos Emishian; School Principal Mr. Gregoire Kaloust; teachers, staff members, and parents.

The ceremony opened with an address delivered by Mariana Kassabian, a graduating student, who reflected on the national and spiritual significance of the Holy Translators' movement, emphasizing every Armenian's responsibility toward preserving and cherishing their mother tongue.

The opening address was followed by an artistic program prepared by the students. Through songs, poetry recitations, and theatrical performances, they brought to life the history of the creation of the Armenian alphabet and the profound legacy of the Holy Translators. The artistic program concluded with a collective performance of the song “Hayéren Yerkenk” (“Let Us Sing in Armenian”).

At the conclusion of the ceremony, School Principal Mr. Gregoire Kaloust delivered his message, emphasizing that the invention of the Armenian alphabet marked the beginning of a national and cultural renaissance, empowering the Armenian people to think, create, and preserve their identity through their mother tongue.

The Principal particularly highlighted that, in a rapidly changing world where technology and artificial intelligence are opening new horizons, preserving the Armenian language and national values has become more important than ever.

Mr. Kaloust encouraged Mesrobian students not to limit themselves to safeguarding the heritage entrusted to them, but to enrich it through their own knowledge, ideas, and creativity. He reminded them that the Holy Translators were themselves great innovators of their time, possessing the courage and vision to open new doors of knowledge and wisdom for their people.

The Principal concluded his message by encouraging students to love, speak, and read Armenian and to take pride in their Armenian identity, emphasizing that the future of the Armenian people also rests in the hands of the younger generation.
