Description: The first Sunday services of the Armenian Evangelical Church were held on November 14, 1896 at the Adams Memorial Presbyterian Church on East Thirtieth Street. Rev. H. H. Khazoyan, who had just arrived from Turkey for theological studies, led the initial organization of the church and thereafter became the first pastor. While there were a few Armenians in New York City at the time, the persecutions and massacres of Armenians in Turkey that had begun in 1895 had started bringing increasing numbers of Armenians to America. Eager to continue their religious life in their new homeland, Armenians flocked to the new Church.

Description: In the years following the genocide, St. Illuminator’s Armenian Apostolic Cathedral beckoned like a bright beacon of hope for a generation of survivors. After they landed on Ellis Island they quickly found their way to this modest church on a bustling street in the shadow of the “EL” where they searched for family members, village neighbors, and the anchor for a new life. In 1914, St. Illuminator’s members began to collect funds to purchase the church and its furnishings from the Methodists; six years later it came into Armenian ownership. In April 1921, St. Illuminator’s, at 221 East 27th Street, was consecrated as a cathedral. It, and the building next door, were ours. A new “homeland” at last!

Description: In 1954 a building committee was formed to make the necessary transactions for the purchase of the property on which Holy Martyrs is now located. Three prominent members of the community, Artin Aslanian, Dadour Dadourian and Poozant Piranian, generously contributed the initial cost of the land. In June of that year the Certificate of Incorporation, filed in Albany, made the church an officially chartered institution. As a bona fide parish of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, Holy Martyrs was assigned its first priest-in-charge, Fr. Torkom Manoogian,(of blessed memory His Beatitude Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem) who will long be remembered affectionately by the community for guiding its leaders in the right steps toward the formation of the parish.
