Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Armenian Catholic Church

About this church

Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Armenian Catholic Church is located at 1327 Pleasant Avenue in Los Angeles. Its official service page invites visitors to a weekly Sunday celebration of the Divine Liturgy, but does not publish a current time in the page text. The parish is also raising funds to restore and rebuild after a fire in August 2025. For those reasons, first-time guests should contact the church directly to confirm the current Sunday time, worship location, and building access rather than relying on an older third-party schedule.

Dedicated in 1956, the parish identifies itself as California’s first Armenian Catholic church. Its story began with Armenian Catholics in Los Angeles and immigrants who arrived after World War II, preserving Armenian liturgy while building a new community in East Los Angeles. Parish life includes Sunday Mass, confession by appointment, baptism, first Communion, marriage preparation, the Armenian forty-day blessing for infants known as Karasoonk, religious education, a choir, a Ladies Guild, and cultural activities. The church’s history also notes an English-language Sunday Mass and decades of support for Armenian relief and community needs.
