In Framingham, at the west end of the South Common in downtown Framingham, is the Armenian Church of the Holy Translators.
The church is located on the west end of the South Common in downtown Framingham, near the intersection of Park Street and Park Place. The building is a white church with steps leading to the front entrance. The roof is peaked. Along the sides are tall, narrow windows. Over the main entrance is a belfry, then a finial topped by a gold cross with flared ends.
The web site states that the congregation was formed as an official mission parish in April, 1998, though they had met in homes a year earlier. They met for a while in the Sisters of St. Joseph at Bethany Hill until they purchased the spresent structure in 2001. The web site accessed at the time of posting stated that they were having a celebration for the 10th Anniversary of Lithurgy at their church.
The church service (Lithurgy) starts at 9:30 am and fellowship starts at 11:00 am.
Events held by the congregation include Men's Night and a golf tournament. There are also various committees and other activities that members can get involved in.
The church was first known as the Park Street Baptist Church. That congregation split from the First Baptist Church in 1854. The current structure was completed in 1881.
I could not find a sign prominently displayed for the church. I found a small reference to the church on the Armenian Genocide Memorial that is located in front and to the left of the main entrance (when facing the church).
