The Holy Trinity Church (Romanian: Biserica Sfânta Treime) is a Roman Catholic church in the Ronaț district of Timișoara. It was built in 1928 for the Roman Catholic employees of the Romanian Railways from Ronat, then a colony of Mehala.[1] In fact, Ronaț was built near the railway, close to the station and the company's workplaces. In this church, every Sunday and holiday, a single Holy Liturgy is celebrated in the Hungarian, Romanian and German languages.[1]

During the Allied bombings in the morning of 3 July 1944, the church was hit by six bombs that destroyed it completely; only the altar remained standing.[2] For this reason, liturgies were held for a while in a private house in the area, owned by teacher Hermine Muschung, the by the Marosan family. The reconstruction works began in 1946, under the parish priest Georg Wetzl from Iosefin.[3] In 1948, Bishop Augustin Pacha obtained help from the Apostolic Nunciature, worth 50,000 lei, for the restoration of the church in Ronaț.[2] However, the works were stopped after the installation of the atheist communist regime. It would only be finished in 1964. The consecration service was officiated by Monsignor Konrad Kernweiss [de], Ordinarius Substitutus of the Diocese of Timișoara.[2] In the 1980s, the church was painted by Paul Veres, an artist who grew up in Ronaț.
