This icon gratefully memorializes the Slovak founders of our parish. The two icons next to Sts. Cyril & Methodius show the story of the "road to Emmaus" and the "Holy Family."
The "Road to Emmaus" was given to mark the "Year of the Eucharist" and captures the spirit of the Disciples when they et Jesus on the road and found "their hearts burning within them as they were on the road."
The "Holy Family" show Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in the loving embrace of being one family. It was given to mark the Feast of the Holy Family.
Each of these holy icons wes presented to all parishes in the Diocese by Bishop McManus. They are meant to mark how the Eucharist is the center of our faith journey and Christ as the Spirit of our family life.
