History

Holy Apostles Saints Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church of Haverhill, Massachusetts serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of the greater Haverhill area and the northern Merrimack Valley from its home at 154-156 Winter Street. The parish is dedicated to two of Christ's most celebrated Apostles, Saints Peter and Paul, whose feast day on June 29 marks the culmination of the Apostolic Fast and stands as one of the most significant commemorations in the Orthodox Christian calendar.

 

The church building at Winter Street, a three-story brick structure with columns at its entrance and two domes rising above its roofline, was designed in the Byzantine ecclesiastical architectural tradition and became a landmark of the Winter Street neighborhood. An architect's rendering of the building dates to 1964, placing the construction of the current structure in that era, when Greek Orthodox communities across New England were building permanent churches to replace the converted buildings and rented spaces of their immigrant origins.
