The Blessed Ignatius Shoukrallah Maloyan, I.C.P.B. ((アルメニア語:Իգնատիոս Մալոյան), b. April 8, 1869, Mardin, Ottoman Empire - d. June 10/11, 1915), was the Armenian Catholic Archbishop of Mardin between 1911 and 1915. ==Early life== Shoukrallah Maloyan, son of Melkon and Faridé, was born in 1869. When he was fourteen years old, his parish priest noticed in him signs of a priestly vocation, so he sent him to the convent of Bzoummar, Lebanon where the Armenian Catholic Church still has its headquarters. After finishing his theological studies on 6 August 1896, on the feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus, he was ordained a priest in the church of Bzommar convent, became a member of the Patriarchal Order of Bzommar and adopted the religious name of Ignatius in honor of St. Ignatius of Antioch. During the years 1897-1910, Father Ignatius served as a parish priest in Alexandria and Cairo, where his good reputation became widespread. The Armenian Catholic Patriarch, Boghos Bedros XII Sebbaghian, appointed him as his assistant in 1904. Because of a disease that hit his eyes and caused him suffocating difficulty in breathing, however, he returned to Egypt and stayed there till 1910. The Diocese of Mardin was in a state of anarchy, so the Patriarch sent Father Ignatius Maloyan to restore order. On October 22, 1911, the Bishops' Synod assembled in the Vatican and consecrated Father Ignatius as Archbishop of Mardin. He returned to his hometown and took over his new assignment and planned on renewing the wrecked diocese, encouraging especially devotion to the Sacred Heart. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ignatius Maloyan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
