Armenian Prelacy of Canada

In 1958, the Armenian Prelacy of America was established. Due to a small number of churches the Prelacy included all of the United States of America as well as Canada. As the number of Churches grew over the years, the Armenian Prelacy of America was split into two jurisdictions, Eastern and Western. As years continued to go by, more churches were built, and in 2002, the Armenian Prelacy of Eastern America was split into two yet again, this time establishing the Armenian Prelacy of Canada.
During this time, His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia appointed His Eminence then Bishop Khajag Hagopian as Locum Tenens of the Canadian Diocese.
In February 2004, His Eminence Archbishop (elevated in 2003) Khajag Hagopian was elected Prelate of Canada becoming the first Prelate of the newly established Armenian Prelacy of Canada.
On May 11th, 2006, His Eminence Archbishop Khajag Hagopian was reelected as Prelate of Canada for another term, during the Canadian Armenian National Assembly of Representatives conference in St. Catherines, Ontario.
On May 8, 2010, His Eminence Archbishop Khajag Hagopian was reelected for the third time as Prelate of Canada at the Canadian Armenian National Assembly of Representatives conference in Toronto, Ontario.
On May 10th, 2014, His Eminence Archbishop Khajag Hagopian retired from Prelate duties. During this time, the 56/13th Canadian Armenian National Representatives Assembly was held in Montreal, Canada. The Representatives at the Assembly, elected His Grace Bishop Meghrig Parikian as the new Prelate of the Armenian Prelacy of Canada.
