The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity was organized in the early part of 1919, when Father Popeil arrived in Trenton, NJ. When he returned to the Ukraine later that year, the Church Council invited Father Volodymyr Kaskiv to be Pastor. The church was formally incorporated in the State of New Jersey on November 20, 1919. Land was purchased for a cemetery, and a building on Woodland Street was acquired, and converted into a church. The parish built an addition to serve as a church hall, and Ukrainian language school. As the parish grew, a larger property at 700 Liberty Street was purchased.

Protopresbyter Father Kaskiv was an able and energetic priest, serving Holy Trinity from 1919 until 1925. He was also involved in organizing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America. For several years, Father Kaskiv also devoted much of his time to the publishing of DNIPRO, a church weekly.

Mr. Michael Palazey was the main organizer of the church choir, and became its first Director.

From 1925 to 1939, Holy Trinity had eleven priests, each serving for a relatively short period. During this period, under Father Petro Belon, alter boys became part of the Divine Liturgy. On August 15, 1939, Father Micheal Zaparyniuk, Sr. was assigned to our parish. A church hall, residence, and garage were built on Adeline Street. Our present-day church was erected and was dedicated by His Beatitude Metropolitan John Theodorovich and His Eminence Archbishop Mstyslav on November 23, 1952. The new church gave the parish new life. Father Zaparyniuk started the Church School program, which continues to this day.

Father Michael, Sr. fell asleep in our Lord on November 2, 1958. His son, Father Michael, Jr., assumed pastoral duties in February 1959, and served the needs of our growing parish, particularly our youth, until March 1968. In 1962, a parking lot was purchased across the street from the church. The church hall basement was converted into usable space, with air conditioning installed in the upper(main) and lower halls. To augment church income, the church committee started Bingo on September 12, 1967.

In April 1968, Protopresbyter Father Bohdan Zelechiwsky became our new pastor. Our Iconostas was also built. In 1976. the cemetery property was expanded. In 1988, Father Bohdan commissioned a large mural for our church to celebrate the Millennium of Christianity in Ukraine. Father Bohdan served our parish for more than 31 years.

Father Hieromonk Sviatoslav served as parish priest from November 2000 to July 2002. Father Hieromonk Philip served from November 2002 through April 2004. From November 1999 to September 2004, there were prolonged periods without a permanent parish priest, when our church services were performed by visiting priests and deacons. Our parish appreciates and thanks all of these participating clergy, especially Father Petro Levko, who served us for over six months.

Mrs. Sophia Beryk Schultz served as Choir Director during the tenures of Father Bohdan and Father Hieromonk Sviatoslav. Rebecca Scabarozi Calvani is our present Choir Director.

On October 24, 2004, Holy Trinity celebrated its 85th anniversary, remembering all those who contributed their love, dedication, and hard work building the parish into what it is today.

We welcome Father Ivan Lymar, Pani Matka Liliya, and their children to our parish family. May the Good Lord grant them many healthy, happy, and prosperous years with us.

We ask Almighty God to grant us all the strength and wisdom to continue working for the future of Holy Trinity Church.
