    local Armenians and founded the Armenian Church of Strasbourg in 2010.

    The first holy liturgy was served on January 6, 2010, celebrating the
    Birth of Jesus. Since then, the day has become a Day of the church
    foundation, while the All-Armenian Catholicos Karekin II sent his
    blessings. A cultural center and a Sunday school function next to
    the church as well since this year.
