CHURCH HISTORY

Armenians began to settle in Boston in the 1880’s. For many years, the Armenians in Boston were without their own house of worship. Visiting Armenian clergymen were called upon to serve the religious needs of the community, and they held services using the facilities of local Episcopalian churches. Several clergymen provided significant guidance to the Armenians in the Boston area.

The first church, located on Shawmut Avenue, Boston, was consecrated on November 11, 1923. The edifice was named the Holy Trinity Church. Due largely to the exodus of parishioners to the Greater Boston suburbs, the church was relocated to Cambridge, MA. The new magnificent edifice in Armenian architectural style stands at the corner of Brattle and Sparks Street near Harvard Square, and was consecrated on September 17, 1961. The present pastor of the Holy Trinity Church is the Reverend Father Vasken A. Kouzouian.
