St. Sarkis Armenian Church, London


Benefactor Calouste S. Gulbenkian sponsored and oversaw the building of St. Sarkis Church in London to provide “spiritual comfort” to the Armenian community and a place of gathering for “dispersed Armenians,” as he wrote at the time to the Catholicos of All Armenians.
Built in 1923 for a community who at the time had just experienced the annihilation of their people in the Ottoman Empire, the mission of St. Sarkis Church in London has continued into the 21st century: to serve the descendents of a resurrected people here in the United Kingdom.
