Home > Armenian Catholic Church


After the Armenian Apostolic Church formally broke off from the Universal Church, numerous Armenian bishops made attempts to restore communion with the (now no longer universal) Catholic Church. In 1195 during the Crusades, the church of the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia entered into a union with the Roman Catholic Church which lasted until Cilicia was conquered by Tatars in 1375.

The union was later re-established during the council of Florence in 1439, but did not have any real effects until the year 1740, when Abraham-Pierre I Ardzivian , who earlier became a Catholic, was elected as the patriarch of SisSis (also known as Sision or Sisk?ia later Flaviopolis or Flavias , is the chief town of the Khozan sanjak of the Adana vilayet in Turkey.

The term Armenian Catholic Church can also refer to the church formed by Armenians living in Poland in 1620 after the union of Leopolis by Mikolaj (Nicholas) Torosowicz , which has since established bonds with the older Armenian Catholic Church. A number of its members migrated to Sweden, which holds its own chapter. See Catholic Church of Sweden.
