Story

Brief History about Holy Trinity:

The first Armenian church in Philadelphia was organized in 1913 and consecrated in September of 1917. In 1923 the community had so increased in number that two parishes were formed North and West. The West Philadelphia parish maintained the original name of Saints Sahag and Mesrob and the North Philadelphia parish was named Saint Gregory the Illuminator. In 1934 due to the sad events in the life of the Armenian Church in America Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church was lost.

The North Philadelphia parish consecrated its new house of worship on December 26-27, 1942 and remained in that location until December of 1964 when the Church burned down.

Holy Trinity Armenian Church in Cheltenham was consecrated on September 18, 1966 by the then Diocesan Primate, His Eminence Archbishop Torkom Manoogian. Holy Trinity Armenian Church is affiliated with the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America which is part of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin in Armenia.
