History

The parish of Holy Trinity Cathedral was established in 1860. In 1892, the cathedral was named as the pro-cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster. The current building for Holy Trinity Cathedral was built from 1899 to 1902.[1]

Holy Trinity has housed the regimental chapel for The Royal Westminster Regiment for 150 years. Prior to that time, the officers of the Royal Engineers attend Holy Trinity; enlisted men attended St. Mary the Virgin.

In 1929, the Archbishop of New Westminster formally named Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver as the cathedral church of the diocese.[2] Although Holy Trinity was no longer the cathedral church of the diocese, it was permitted to retain the word cathedral in its name.
