Description

The first Assyrians arrived in Connecticut all through the start of the 20 th century. First of all brought here through a mission organized by the South Church of New Britain, larger numbers of Assyrian families later migrated to the US in an try to find security all through World War I. Since their arrival, New Britain has seen its Assyrian community thrive and grow. Upon settling in New Britain, many Assyrians put endless effort into helping up to date immigrants find shelter and jobs. Additionally they created an Assyrian magazine and established learning centers to make certain that the traditions, language, and history of Assyrian culture weren’t lost. These efforts were secured by the establishment of St. Thomas Church of the East in 1957. The history of New Britain’s Assyrian community has been documented and collected for the past 100 years by local residents utilizing the New Britain Public Library, South Church, St. Marks Church, and St. Thomas Church.
