Armenian Catholic Parish – Budapest

Welcome to the Armenian Catholic Church of Budapest (Fogolykiváltó Boldogasszony és Világosító Szent Gergely-templom), the spiritual and cultural heart of the Armenian diaspora in Hungary. Established in 1922 by Armenians of Transylvanian descent, our parish on Orlay Street proudly stands as the capital’s unique Armenian pilgrimage site. Having resiliently persevered through challenging historical eras, our community continues to thrive, drawing faithful visitors from across the globe to find strength, experience a profound sense of belonging, and praise God through liturgies celebrated in both the Armenian and Hungarian languages. Beyond our religious services, the church serves as a vibrant guardian of our heritage, housing a treasured museum collection that spans centuries and honors the beautiful, historical coexistence of Armenian and Hungarian spiritual values. Whether you are seeking a community of faith, hope, and love, or a meaningful connection to your ancestral roots, we warmly invite you to discover the eternal treasures preserved within our walls.
