Re presenting Arms Museum Ethnic Contributions Co mmittee: Ms. Hildegard 
Schnuttgen a n d Mr. Joseph Rudjak. 
Sts . Cyril and Methodius Ch uroh serTices a congregation of Slovak 
heritage. This congre gation is the oldest Slovak pari~h com 
munity in Youngstown. 
Fr. Yurch~ suggested that we utilize the ~he booklet, Hi~tory of 
Slovgks in the Mah oning Vallel by Nowicki, f or general iuformation 
on famille~ and churches involved in the Slovak settlements in 
Youngstown. 
Mo~t Slovaks in the area are Roman CatholIc or Byzantine Catholic. 
How ever originally the Talley al~o knew the presence of a SloTak 
Lutheran and a Slovak Pre~byterian cO lumuni ty. ' 
sts. Cyril a nd Hethodius parish was es tablished, through orig'inal 
Slovak fraternal organization~, in 1896. Th~ church building 
was constructed in 1900. A 75th AnniTersary boo~let was pub 
lished. Fr. Yurcho will try to obtain a copy for the museum. 
Other Slovak parishe~ followed. Some are, in the order of ~hair 
foundation: Holy Trinity,Struthers; St. Mathias, Lansingville; 
St. John's, Campbell; Holy Name, Youngsto~n; etc. 
Fr. George France was ~ug~ested as a valiable resource person on 
the history of the Slo~ak community in Youngstown. Fr. Franco 
is pastor at Holy Name, Youngstown. 
(Upon entering the sanctuary of the church) 
Fr. Yurcho empha~ized that the church has been left as much a~ pos 
sible in its original f0rm. Facirgthe altar one notices the 
great number of paintings and statues. The sta tues are plaster-of 
PRrls. The paintings it is important to note were done by an 
artIst from the parish. This man is a Youngstowner. His name is 
Mr. Frank Hannis. Mr. Hannis still does some touchup work, however 
he is now in his mid 70s. 
The stained glass Windows present the names of doors. Some were 
donated by individua13 others by organi

ations. Facing the main 
altar, the large window to your right presents a scene of st. 
Martin de Porres. This Saint was the patron of a large and actiTe 
organi~ation at the time 01" the Church cons tructiC:)n.

The exact origin o f t he l"i l nduws is not kn own to Fr. Yurcho. The 
window~ haTe been recently repaired a nd protected from the weather. 
Faci~ the alta r t h e sta tues of St~. Cjri l a n d Methodiu~ flank the 
al t a r. Cyril t o the right, Methodius t o the left. 
The church design is Romanesque. Originally there were two towers. 
These towers were later remoyed due to t he stre s s caused by rail 
traffic in the area. 
Today most parishioners are frum the S outh Sid~. Others c ome from 
all areas of the valley. since t~e parish was the first Slovak 
parish and some famil1es have retained their original ties. 
About 550 famil1es are serviced by the church t oda y. 
Fr. Yurcho has . been at this parish for 17 yea rs. There is no assistant. 
There i~ a school with eight eleille~tary g~ades servicing the parish. 
Nlnty-seven students are enrolled. No Sloval is t a ught at t h e s chool. 
Father Yurcho's blood sister, Sr. Mary William, of the Ursuline 
order is principal of the school. For special occasion~ Slovak 
songs and customs are s hared with the students. 
One Mass each Sunday is in the SluYak language. This Mass does not 
s e em to draw a large crowd, since today fewer and fewer people 
understand Slovak. (We were provided witha Slovak Mass booklet~ 
Fr. Yurcho feels it would be possible to find an in~tructor if 
people we re· interested.Unified curriculum in the Catholic schools 
allows skant time for language instruction at the school. 
Concerning the church design. ftathing in the church is "typically" 
Slovak according to Fr. Yurcho. There is a stained glass window 
celebrating a Bohem1an Saint but little else relating to the 
Sloyak history. 
Needle-Nork or folk art by parishioners is not in evidence in the 
church. 
Concerning the Slovak people of the valley, Rev. YurchQ characterized 
them as "hard"Norking. industrious a nd religiGus." There is a 
strong identification with the contribution of t heir families. 
Some of the strength of this identificat ion is due to the per 
secution of the SlGvak people in Europe after 1848. 
Fr. YU~Gho feels that there wa s prejudice in the valley t oward the 
Slavic co munity. Thi~ is evidenced by the angli0ization of name~. 
and the esta blishment of Slavic Ca t holic Churches .in t he area 
beca use the hierarchy "had to.-
~v~n, . 
'Today there are no more ftpriests who speak the Slovak l anguage, 
page 3 
with Fr. Patruiak the one exception. 
The Slovak c )mmunity moved into the r a nks of the professional~ even 
in the second generation. Thi~ process i~. continuing. Membership 
in the parish ' is mostly non-professional. 
The c ontributions to the valley can be summa rized a s the contribution 
of a hardworking , law-abiding people, given t o a deep sense of order, 
( cle nliness e specially dramatizes this trait), structure and a devotion 
to God and coun t ry. 
Many of the pe ople in the area came from the region around Spls 
in Slovakia.
