Dear Parishioners, Friends and Church Family,

For centuries, Armenian faithful have supported their beloved church with heartfelt donations; especially towards lighting candles and for the collection plate.

The Pastor & Parish Council are happy to introduce Holy Trinity Armenian Church “LOUMA” program, in which vouchers maybe used for candle and collection plate donations.

The Louma vouchers are available in $2, $5, $10 and $20 denominations.  Tax deductible receipts are available for purchases of books of 10 Loumas.  The Loumas can be conveniently purchased with any form of payment.

By using Loumas instead of cash each Sunday, you will help eliminate hours of volunteer work, counting and depositing small cash donations.  By carrying a book of Loumas, you will eliminate the worry about having cash for candle or collection plate donations.

The Parish Council will be happy to introduce the Loumas and assist you in this regards. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Church office with any questions or concerns; We look forward to worshiping with you at next Sunday’s Divine Liturgy.

Thank you.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

"We will all be changed by the Victory of our Lord Jesus Christ” 
1 Cor. 15:51-58


Members of the Holy Trinity Armenian Church made a pilgrimage to the historic St. Michael's Catholic Cathedral in downtown Toronto last Sunday, January 22, to participate in a multi-denominational ecumenical observance dedicated to the week of prayer for Christian unity.

The week of prayer was conceived in 1908 to pray for Christian unity. Today, it is organized globally by the World Council of Churches, a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures.  The prayers are held annually so that Christians become aware of the great diversity of ways of adoring God. Hearts are touched, and people realize that their neighbours' ways are not so strange.
