In 1934, industrialist Grigore Berziveanu undertook renovation works on the church. The last Armenian priest of Brăila, Garibian, died in 1962, and the Armenian church has ever since only held services with the assistance of Armenian priests from other cities throughout Romania. Today, the Armenian Church of Brăila is used as a gathering point by the small Armenian community of the city, composed of some fourteen families as of 2005. (en)
