In 1940 Mekhitarist Father, later Bishop, Sahag Kogian established an Armenian Catholic Community in Boston, with Masses at Sacred Heart Church in Watertown. Rev Fr Luke Arakelian, OMech, succeeded him as pastor in 1951. In 1956, with the generous assistance of Richard Cardinal Cushing, Holy Cross Armenian Catholic Church, off Harvard Square in Cambridge, was purchased and consecrated. In 1990, Rev Fr Boghos Kojanian, OMech, served as pastor of Holy Cross, followed in 1993 by Rev Fr Raphael Andonian, OMech. In 1997 the parish moved to its new location in Belmont. (USA)
