Welcome to Holy Trinity Church, Forbes Park, Manila!
The Holy Trinity Church is a multicultural Anglican Church that exists to bring Jesus Christ to the peoples of our community, reflecting him in our lives, our worship, our study and our fellowship; working to restore all to unity with God and each other.
The Trinity community has been an active Episcopal congregation since the end of World War II, first in its Ermita location near the bay and, since 1969, in Forbes Park, Makati. As part of the world-wide Anglican community our Parish continues the work and witness of the Episcopal Church in the Philippine islands since the start of the 20th Century.
One of our denomination's most famous leaders was missionary bishop to the Philippines and ecumenical visionary, Charles Henry Brent (1862 – 1929) who was also responsible for the establishment of the Brent International schools and St. Luke's Hospital.
Since 1990, the Episcopal Church in the Philippines has been an independent member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion and Trinity was raised to cathedral status in that year, and served the Diocese of the Central Philippines in that capacity until 2003. Holy Trinity is now a regular parish again.
Within the Philippines, the total membership of our Episcopal Church is almost 120,000 spread among 590 congregations and served by 10 bishops, 242 priests and deacons as well as 896 lay personnel.
Our Location
Holy Trinity Church is located on McKinley Road opposite the San Antonio Shopping Center. From Ayala Avenue towards Fort Bonifacio our church is located on the left hand side. We are set back from the street but the entrance is sign-posted and we are easy to find.
Our Church is a ten-minute walk from the Ayala MRT Station and a five minute cab ride from the Glorietta Shopping Mall.
There is ample parking within the church grounds for those coming by private car.
If you are unfamiliar with the area, McKinley Road is the continuation of Ayala Avenue across from the EDSA arterial road. This intersection is just past the Manila Intercontinental Hotel. Look for the Shell Service Station on the corner.
