Sts. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Roman Catholic Church

Sts. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Roman Catholic Church Serving the spiritual and sacramental needs of Catholics of Slovak descent in the Archdiocese of Toronto. The then pastor, Rev. Deo gratias!

Sme rímskokatolícka farnosť, ustanovená k udržiavaniu náboženskej a kultúrnej tradície, ktorú nám priniesli naši svätí patróni. In 1934 the small Slovak community in Toronto, through the intercession of The First Catholic Slovak Union, realized its deep desire for a spiritual leader when in April of that year Father Michael Shuba arrived from Fairport Harbour, Ohio, to become the first parish prie

st for the Slovak faithful in the Diocese of Toronto. Under his dedicated leadership, the first Slovak parish church of Sts. Cyril and Methodius, built by the congregation at 34 Claremont St., was blessed on Sunday, November 9th, 1941. Over the following decades the congregation strengthened in faith and numbers, supported by a vibrant and active spiritual and volunteer membership. The church flourished during this period and welcomed its second and third wave of immigrants, until in 1984 it became evident that a move from downtown Toronto to a suburban location should be considered. The last Mass in the old church was celebrated on September 15th, 1993. Vincent Danco, S.J., together with the Parish Council, undertook the difficult task of searching out a new location while at the same time putting into motion the sale of the old church. Finally, in 1993, fund raising began in earnest, the final building plans and budget were approved and construction was started in 1995. The new church at its present location in Mississauga was officially blessed by His Grace Aloysius Ambrosic, Archbishop of Toronto, on Sunday, May 12th, 1996.

Pope Francis established the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, celebrated each year on the fourth Sunday of July.

This year, on July 26, we warmly invite everyone to join us after both Masses for a free cup of coffee and cake as we celebrate and honour our grandparents and the elderly in our community. ❤️

In Slovak:

Svätý Otec František ustanovil Svetový deň starých rodičov a seniorov, ktorý sa slávi každý rok v štvrtú júlovú nedeľu.

Tento rok, 26. júla, srdečne pozývame všetkých, aby sa po oboch svätých omšiach zastavili na bezplatnú kávu a koláč, keď spolu oslávime a uctíme si našich starých rodičov a seniorov v našej komunite. ❤️

***TIME has changed***

😍 HELLOOOO! I’m the Slovak Picnic Poster — and I’m Fabulous! 😁

Yes, it’s me. The most colourful, loud, and excited poster in the entire parish hallway. I’ve been taped to more doors than I can count, and honestly? I look great everywhere.

Let me tell you what I’m screaming about:

• I’m hosting a MASSIVE Slovak Picnic on July 12th, 2026,
• I’ve got a bouncy castle so big it could launch your child into orbit (don’t worry, safely),
• Music! Bring your lawn chairs unless you enjoy standing like a confused flamingo,
• Lunch — because no one wants a hangry Slovak,
• Games, sports, face painting, and a 50/50 draw (may the odds be ever in your favour),
• And of course, Holy Mass at 12:30 PM because even I know we need blessings before the chaos begins,
• All happening at 9118 Winston Churchill Blvd, Norval,
• Entry? Only $10 — cheaper than your morning Starbucks order.

Slovak version will follow:

😍HELÓÓÓ! Ja som plagát Slovenského Pikniku — a som jednoducho úžasný!😁

Áno, som to ja. Najfarebnejší, najhlučnejší a najnadšenejší plagát v celej farskej chodbe. Bol som prilepený na toľkých dverách, že som to prestal rátať — a úprimne? Vyzerám skvelo všade.

A toto všetko na vás kričím:

• Organizujem OBROVSKÝ Slovenský Piknik 12. júla 2026,
• Mám nafukovací hrad taký veľký, že by mohol vystreliť vaše dieťa na obežnú dráhu (samozrejme bezpečne),
• Hudba! Prineste si skladacie stoličky, pokiaľ nechcete stáť ako zmätený plameniak,
• Obed — lebo nikto nechce hladného a mrzutého Slováka,
• Hry, športy, maľovanie na tvár a tombola 50/50 (nech sú šance vo váš prospech),
• A samozrejme, Svätá omša o 12:30, lebo aj ja viem, že pred chaosom potrebujeme požehnanie,
• To všetko na adrese 9118 Winston Churchill Blvd, Norval.

• Vstup? Iba 10 $ — lacnejšie ako tvoja ranná káva zo Starbucks.
