Fr. Vasken Kouzouian, Pastor

As the pastor of the Holy Trinity Armenian Church of Greater Boston I warmly welcome you to our parish website. Our parish dates back to the 1880’s when Armenians began immigrating to the city of Boston, Massachusetts. Today, 130 years later, we are about to celebrate our 50th Anniversary at our current location on Brattle Street in Cambridge, one of the most historic streets in America. We invite you to join in our celebration.

Our parish is comprised of more than 600 individuals and families of various ages and diverse backgrounds. Our parishioners, proud of their heritage, endeavor to live as faithful members of the Armenian Church and heritage.

Visitors are always welcome at Holy Trinity. Please feel free to visit Holy Trinity and worship with us on any given Sunday. You will discover a welcoming parish family, an ancient yet vibrant Armenian Christian faith, first class religious education and youth programming, a Women’s Guild, and Men’s Club, a program for seniors, and God-willing even the spiritual home for you and your family. I look forward to welcoming you and your family,

Fr. Vasken Kouzouian, Pastor
