Holy Trinity Romanian Orthodox Parish of New Westminster, B.C.  Canada exists since 1986. A small group of Romanians faithful under the guidance of Archimandrite Martinian Ivanovics (+ 1996) from Regina, asked The Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America (ROEA) Grass Laks, MI to send a priest to serve their spiritual needs.  From 1986 to 1990 with the benevolence of established Christian local communities, our Parish had its spiritual journey serving in various places such as St George Greek Cathedral on Arbutus, Vancouver, BC and Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church on 43rd Ave, Vancouver, BC, and finally at St Michael's Anglican Church (1991 - 2003). At the beginning of the new millennium, the parish grew larger and stronger, thus managing to acquire the current worship place (2003) located at 220 Carnarvon Street, New Westminster, BC. Ample renovations work took place during 2004-2011, including its fresco painting by Petru Botezatu. The current priest is Fr. Nicolae Lapuste.
