Prehistory
For most of the 19th century, Québec City, Québec, Canada, was the major port for immigration into Canada. It was after 1880 that many people began to arrive in Québec from the regions that are now Poland and Ukraine. Most did not remain in the city ; but rather, they journeyed farther to the west of the country, where they settled. A significant number of the Slavs settled in Montréal, which was a rather larger city at that time, with more employment, and business opportunities.
Beginnings in Montréal
In 1907, the Russian Orthodox Parish of Saints Peter and Paul was established in Montréal, Québec. This parish received Orthodox Christians from other cities in Eastern Canada with hospitality, and any Russian-speakers who might have lived in Québec City would have travelled there when possible. Similarly, any Orthodox Christians who were Romanian- or Greek- or Arabic- speakers would have travelled to Montréal whenever it was possible.
This pattern of immigration continued with approximately the same pattern of movement (even when both Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Montréal, Québec, became more prominent ports of entry).
It was only after World War II that there began to be a Russian-speaking presence in Québec City, when some people arrived and remained in the city or its environs. It seems that the family of Yaroslav Koulomzine arrived in Québec City in 1948, His brother, Theodore, moved to Montréal, and then to Val-d’Or, Québec, where he was instrumental in the establishment of several parishes in the Abititi region. His brother, Nikita, moved to New York, USA, where he and his wife became active in Church life. Afterwards, the Koulomzine family began to be joined in the city by other Russian-and Ukrainian-speaking immigrants.
Archpriest Oleg Boldireff
It was in 1948 also that Archpriest Oleg Boldireff and his family moved to Canada from France, and they settled in Montréal, Québec. There, he was assigned to serve as rector of Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, and to serve as Dean of Québec and Ontario.
Establishment of the parish, 1950
In the context of the beginning of a small community of Orthodox Christians in Québec City, and of the personal contacts between Father Oleg Boldireff and the small community in the city, the desire of the Québec City residents to establish a mission in the city was fulfilled. It took some time, because of the lack of a resident bishop in Canada at that time. However, Father Oleg presented the possibility to Metropolitan Leonty (Turkevich), the Locum-tenens of the Canadian diocese, and the blessing was given. The Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Mission was established in 1950.
Although there were regular contacts it was, however, not until 1952 that the first Divine Liturgy could be served in the mission in Québec City. This occurred on the Feast of Pentecost (the Feast of the Holy Trinity), and this day became the Altar Feast-day of the parish.
Because of his particular personal gifts, Father Boldireff was able to arrange for the repeated use of a chapel at Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral in the city. Holy Trinity Cathedral was very accommodating, and the site was advantageous : it is situated close to the Château Frontenac, in the old heart of the old city, on Rue des Jardins, betweenRue Saint-Anne and Rue Saint-Louis. It is situated also near the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, and the Port of Québec. This arrangement lasted for more than 50 years.

Incorporation
It was on 31 March, 1959, that the Holy Trinity Mission was incorporated legally and officially.
Archpriest Alexandre Mirochnitchenko
Soon after 1952, the Archpriest Alexandre Mirochnitchenko was assigned to serve the mission in Québec City. Although this service was not weekly, it was regular, and increasingly frequent. He continued in this service until his repose in Christ in 1964. Father Alexandre had arrived in Montréal from Europe recently. As with others, during World War II, he, Matushka Antonina, and their son Konstantin had been moved from the region of Crimea into Germany, where there were labour camps, and displaced-persons' camps. As did other priests, Father Alexandre cared spiritually for the refugees in these camps. Later, in Montréal, Konstantin Alexandrovich married Dia Lazis (originally from Latvia). Much later, she was tonsured as the [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Mother_Dorofea_(Mirochnitchenko) Nun Dorofea (Mirochnitchenko).

Notable persons
In those early days, there had arrived and remained such families as those of Sergey Eduardovich Woinowsky-Krieger (a man very significant in civil engineering : he contributed to setting up the civil engineering department at Université Laval, and he co-authored a classic in his field “Theory of Plates and Shells”; Alexander and Tatiana Woinowsky-Krieger, and their sons Aleksey, Michael, and Serge ; Anna Jürgens and her daughters Olga and Helene) ; Georges Ben-Chavchavadze ; the Klimoff family : Eugene E Klimoff ; George Klimoff ; Konstantin Klimoff ; Aleksey Klimoff ; Paul Klimoff ; and their spouses and children ; the Sayn-Wittgenstein family ; the somewhat-related von Schoenburg family. A long-time starosta of the parish was Pavel Ivanovich Voyevodin, who set up the icons and candle-stands before every Divine Liturgy ; and, of course, there were others.
In 1958, the following group photo was taken in Quebec City :

Greek Orthodox community established, 1959
In 1959, the Greek Orthodox Community of Quebec City acquired a temple in Québec City. It was developed from an existing house on René-Lévesque Boulevard, near Cartier Street. Named “Evangelismos”, it is called in English “Annunciation”. Its dedication is to the Annunciation to the Theotokos (Luke 1:25-38).
Similar to the Holy Trinity parish, the population of Greek Orthodox in the city was small, so that services were not frequent until later.
Regular or occasional services continue
During the first many decades of the Holy Trinity parish, the services were offered in a distinct chapel of Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral in Québec City. This was All Saints Chapel. When a service was scheduled to occur, then Alexander S Woinowsky-Krieger would bring all the necessary sacred items required. During every interim, he and his wife Tatiana kept these items in a special place in their home. Especially during later years (before the renewal of activity in the parish), Alexander and Tatiana served as the main contact persons regarding the life of the community.
Archimandrite Cyril (Bulashevich) served the parish regularly from 1984-1995.
Establishment of Saints Peter and Paul Romanian parish, 2001
On 18 March, 2001, the founding Romanian Orthodox community assembly in Quebec City organised itself, and (with the blessing of the bishop), decided on the name "Holy Apostles Peter and Paul" for the parish.
In January, 2002, the first priest was assigned to serve this mission. He was followed by the second priest in 2004. This community, a part of the Romanian Episcopate of The Orthodox Church in America, was already becoming well-populated through immigration.
First resident pastor of Holy Trinity parish, 2008
On 15 May, 2008, Priest Nectaire Féménias was received through Metropolitan Herman (Swaiko) into the Archdiocese of Canada. He was attached at Holy Trinity Mission, Québec, where he began to serve as pastor on a regular basis.
At this time, there continued to be concerns about how to balance the use of the French and Slavonic/Russian languages in worship services and in meetings. Later, solutions to this began to present themselves at a time when immigration from abroad brought once again many Russian-speakers to the region.
Quebec City's first pan-Orthodox liturgy, 2013
The first pan-Orthodox Divine Liturgy in Quebec City took place on Sunday, 24 March, 2013, on the occasion of the Sunday of Orthodoxy. It brought together Orthodox Christians from many backgrounds.
The Divine Liturgy was presided over by Bishop Irénée (Rochon) of Quebec City, administrator of the Archdiocese of Canada, OCA. Priest Costas Constantinou (Greek community), Priest Nectaire Féménias (Russian community), and Priest Daniel Postolache (Romanian community) served together with him.
At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, there was the celebration of the Rite of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, commemorating the restoration of the veneration of Holy Icons in 787. Afterwards, the Faithful united over a fraternal agape meal.
Archpastoral visit to Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Quebec City, 2016
On Sunday, 7 February, 2016, Archbishop Irénée (Rochon) made an archpastoral visit to Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Quebec City.
He presided at the Divine Liturgy, and he was assisted by Archpriest Andrey Syrkin, priest-in-charge of the parish ; by Deacon Nicolas Svetlovsky ; and by Deacon Igor Aleksandrovskiy. After the Divine Liturgy, congratulations were sung to Matushka Tatyana Syrkin, Matushka Nicole Féménias, and others who were celebrating name-days. Afterwards, a luncheon was shared in the hall.
New site for the parish, 2016
On 18 September, 2016, the clergy and people of Holy Trinity Church in Québec City rejoiced that a new location was found for their services as a parish. With the help of some parishioners, an iconostas was built in one week.
The Divine Liturgy service was offered for the first time in the new building on Sunday, 18 September, with Priest Andrey Syrkin, Priest Nectaire Féménias, and Deacon Igor Aleksandrovsky.
The new site is a portion of the very large Église des Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens, whose front entrance is at 707 Rue Père-Marquette. There are other buildings as well.

The new banners were made with loving care by Olga Rusnac.
Foundation of Saint Hilary of Poitiers Mission, 2019
During 2019, the new Mission of Saint Hilary of Poitiers was established in Québec City. In its establishment, this community reflected the positive francophone response to the Orthodox Christian presence in Québec, and the reality that 2 distinct communities were required in order to care for both the French-speaking and Russian-speaking communities.
The parish's facilities are located within those belonging to the Parish of Saint Monica (north side, door 2).
The Francophone Saint Hilary of Poitiers Orthodox Mission Station aims to help the Orthodox Church flourish in Québec City, and serves the spiritual needs of French-speaking Orthodox Christians there, regardless of their origin.

Seventieth anniversary, 2021
Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Québec, Québec, celebrated its 70th anniversary on 14 December, 2021.
Two years ago Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Québec City and I were blissfully preparing to celebrate our 70th anniversary, and of course by April we were in lockdown. After the subsequent rather painful adjustment to online worship, I managed to put together a slideshow of the 70 years of our parish life. Granted there is a gap in the photos during the nearly 20 years when our parish was dormant, sometime in the 1980s regular services resumed in our parish. By the end of last year this slideshow was ready and we celebrated our 70th on Zoom. Fr Nicolas
The Mission at Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Mission, 2016
At the intersection of three large Canadian rivers is the fifth largest city in the province of Quebec, Trois-Rivières (three rivers). It is the second oldest city in Canada after Quebec City. It was founded in 1634 and now has more than 120 thousand inhabitants. Mostly, of course, these are French-speaking Canadians, but among them there are several Russian families who for many years invited a priest to celebrate the Divine Liturgy. The missionary community was served through Archpriest Anatoliy Melnyk, rector of Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Montreal, Quebec.
After 2016, the community was cared for by a priest from Quebec City. Services were held on Saturdays at 10:00 a.m., on the premises kindly provided by the owner of the Greek restaurant, Mr. Stratos. On the second floor of his restaurant, the owner built a small Orthodox chapel in which the Orthodox Christian community could celebrate the Divine Liturgy.
