The union was later re-established during the Council Of Florence in 1439 , but did not have any real effects until the year 1740 , when Abraham-Pierre I Ardzivian , who earlier became a Catholic , was elected as the Patriarch of Sis . Two years later Pope Benedict XIV formally established the Armenian Catholic Church. The headquarters of the patriarchate was later moved to Beirut . During the horrific Armenian Genocide in 1915 – 1918 the church scattered among neighboring countries, mainly Syria . The Armenian Catholic Church can also refer to the church formed by Armenians living in Poland in 1620 after the union of Leopolis by Mikołaj (Nicholas) Torosowicz , which has since established bonds with the older Armenian Catholic Church. A number of its members migrated to Sweden , which holds its own chapter. See Catholic Church Of Sweden .
