Diocese of Shirak, Armenian Apostolic Church diocese in Shirak Province, Armenia
The Diocese of Shirak spans across northern, central, and southwestern sections of Shirak Province, encompassing thirty active churches within its jurisdiction.
The establishment of the diocese occurred on September 6, 1920, through a kontakion issued by Catholicos George V, marking its separation from Araratian Pontifical Diocese.
The Cathedral of the Holy Mother of God in Gyumri functions as the central church, coordinating religious ceremonies and educational programs for 192,000 regional faithful.
The prelacy building, situated at the intersection of Rizhkov and Varpetats streets in central Gyumri, provides administrative services under Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan's leadership.
In 2012, the diocese underwent territorial restructuring when Artik town and its surrounding villages formed a separate ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
