Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church (1959)

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America · community dated 1959 · 110 East Wallen Road · church consecrated 24–25 October 2025 · active, November 2026

Founding: Fort Wayne's Greek immigrants came in the early twentieth century, in Archbishop Elpidophoros's words at the consecration, carrying "a devotion to the lands and traditions they had seemingly left behind"; the parish's own festival history dates the organized community to 1959.

Building line and consecration: The parish worships at 110 East Wallen Road, in a church its people built, in the Archbishop's phrase, "by the sweat of your brows." On 24 and 25 October 2025 Elpidophoros, Archbishop of America, consecrated the church, sealing in its altar the relics of the New Martyrs of Samothrace — Michael, George, Emmanuel, Theodoros, and a second George, martyred on 6 April 1835. The parish priest is Father Cosmin Sicoe; Andrew Swift was president of the parish council at the consecration. The community's earlier worship place, before the Wallen Road church, is not documented in the sources this gazetteer could reach.

Present state: Active, a parish of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese.
