Holy Trinity German Church

As a national parish, Holy Trinity (German) Church may consider as members anyone who lives within the Archdiocese of Boston and is of German lineage, regardless of how far away from the church they live. Parishioners of Holy Trinity (German) Church have the following rights and privileges: their children may be baptized at Holy Trinity and make their First Communion here; their daughters may get married at Holy Trinity; they are asked to support the parish according to their means; they can, in case of sickness, call a priest from Holy Trinity; and they may be buried from Holy Trinity.
Holy Trinity was designed by one of New England's most distinguished church architects, a Brooklyn native named Patrick C. Keely. Keely designed over sixteen cathedrals (including Boston's) and six hundred churches throughout the country.
Holy Trinity is known as the Christmas Parish, having introduced to New England and the country many of the Christmas customs that were brought here by German immigrants during the early and mid-1800s, including the ever-popular decorated pine Christmas Tree and also the German Candlelight Procession and Midnight Mass.
Around 1850, Louis Prang, a German immigrant to Boston, began the practice of exchanging hand-made Christmas holiday cards with his friends. By 1865 he was printing and selling multi-colored cards throughout the United States. To this day he is considered the "Father of the Greeting Card Industry."
Since October of 1998, Holy Trinity's privileges have been extended to the celebration of baptisms, weddings, and funerals using the 1962 missal.
Visitors and Newcomers are warmly invited to join us in the lower level of the church for coffee and donuts after the Sunday Masses.
