Holy Trinity Catholic Church is a territorial parish in the Archdiocese of Newark, located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity—the central mystery of the Christian faith confessing one God in three divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the parish serves a diverse, multicultural community in Bergen County. Founded in 1906 to provide pastoral care for Irish and Italian immigrants settling in the growing borough of Fort Lee, the parish has grown to reflect the demographic changes of the area, including a significant Hispanic population.

The original church structure was modest, but postwar expansion and population growth necessitated a larger facility. The current church building was dedicated in the mid-twentieth century. As of January 10, 2026, Holy Trinity offers regular Masses in English and Spanish, faith formation programs, and ministries supporting spiritual growth, community service, and charitable outreach.

The parish community celebrates the mystery of the Holy Trinity through liturgy and devotion, fostering unity in diversity.

History

Holy Trinity Parish was established in 1906 by the Archdiocese of Newark to serve the spiritual needs of Irish and Italian immigrant families settling in Fort Lee.

Initially operating as a mission, the parish grew rapidly with the borough’s development. The first church structure was modest, but postwar expansion and population growth necessitated a larger facility. The current church was dedicated in the mid-twentieth century, accommodating the increasing number of parishioners.

The parish has adapted to demographic changes, incorporating Spanish-language Masses and ministries to serve its multicultural community, while maintaining its commitment to the foundational mission of proclaiming the Gospel and celebrating the sacraments.

Special features

• Multilingual Masses in English and Spanish, reflecting the parish’s diversity
• Active faith formation programs for children, youth, and adults
• Community outreach and charitable initiatives, including support for local needs

Relics

According to established Catholic tradition, the main altar contains deposited relics, as is customary in dedicated churches. Specific details regarding the saints associated with these relics are not publicly documented in available sources. This follows common practice where first-class relics, often of martyrs, are sealed within the altar.

Architecture

The current church building, constructed in the mid-twentieth century, reflects postwar ecclesiastical design with a simple yet dignified style suited to communal worship.

Art and devotional features

Specific details on stained glass windows, statues, sculptures, or other interior artwork are limited in publicly available sources. Devotional elements typically include representations of the Most Holy Trinity, often depicted as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in symbolic form (e.g., the Father enthroned, the Son on the cross, and the Holy Spirit as a dove).
