The Mekhitarists congregation expresses its gratitude to all those who responded immediately and expressed their support for eliminating the consequences of the disastrous state of the Armenian St. Lazarus Island in Venice.

"By local efforts, we have already been able to organize the cleaning and layout of the water-filled areas of the basement of the mother monastery," Father Hamazasp Kechichian of the Mekhitarists congregation informed on his Facebook page. "To assist, compatriots can make their donations to eliminate the consequences of the disaster of the mother monastery."
