Sts. Cyril and Methodius Celebration

A few years ago, our parish priest began celebrating the feast of Sts. Cyril and Methodius the weekend of February 14. Sts. Cyril and Methodius are credited with bringing the Catholic faith to the Slavic countries. Being that our parish was founded by Slavic immigrants, we honor the feast for an entire week. We begin with a week long novena asking the saints to pray for us and end with a Mass and processional to a local hall for lunch and polka music. 

I didn't take any pictures in church, but got a few at the hall.

I got a picture with Eli wearing a vest that my grandmother made for my family when we were babies.

Miss Mac wanted to take a picture with Eli, but he wasn't so sure

And a pic of Eli with Chris

We had a great time celebrating with Mass, lunch, and polka dancing. I look forward to this celebration every year and getting our children involved in our heritage and faith.
