History

Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church in Norcross, established in 2013, serves the Vietnamese Catholic community within the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Initially, Vietnamese Catholics gathered for Mass at Atlanta's Holy Cross Church before moving to a former car dealership in Norcross in 2006, which served as their sanctuary. The community fought against a proposed waste transfer station in 2009, successfully acquiring the land for community use. A significant milestone was the dedication of a new church building in 2019, marking a new chapter for the parish. The church celebrates its cultural heritage, hosting an annual fall festival that brings together thousands, reflecting the vibrancy of the Vietnamese American Catholic community in Atlanta.[1][2][3]
