Origins

The Pro-Cathedral of The Holy Trinity in Brussels was formed in 1958 by the amalgamation of the congregations of Christ Church and the nearby Church of the Resurrection (now closed). It is a Pro-Cathedral for the Diocese in Europe. The cathedral is in Gibraltar, called the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (and there is a further Pro-Cathedral in Valetta), but Robert Innes, Bishop in Europe (and former Chancellor (priest-in-charge) of Holy Trinity), is the first Bishop to be based in Brussels.[1]
