Holy Trinity Monastery was established in 1928 by Fr. Panteleimon, a Russian monk from St. Tikhon’s monastery in Pennsylvania. He came to America already as a young man before 1917 in order to earn money to send home to his poor family. Fr. Panteleimon bought the property on which Holy Trinity Monastery is found and began to construct buildings for the future monastery.

During World War II a group of a dozen monks came from Europe, bringing with them printing experience and a tradition which orginated in the Pochaev Lavra in the Ukraine. Archbishop Vitaly was part of that group and became the head and Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery, and construction of the Church and other buildings increased. In 1954 Archbishop Vitaly was replaced by Archbishop Averky, who continued to build up the life of the monastery and to spiritually cultivate the seminary and its students.

Archbishop Averky reposed in the Lord in 1975 after a long illness, Archbishop Laurus was appointed as Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery and Rector of Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary. Archbishop Laurus graduated with the first class to complete Holy Trinity Seminary after its foundation in 1948. In 2001 Archbishop Laurus was elevated to the rank of Metropolitan and served at the same time as Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery. He reposed in the Lord on the Sunday of Orthodoxy, 2008. Archimandrite Luke was elected the new Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery on May 19, 2008.
