Join Hands Day

Join Hands Day is a national event that unites young people and adults in an effort to make their neighborhoods better.

Branches Giving Back

Branch Officers and members are volunteering their time and hard work to make a difference in the community. Each effort put forth by the branches—whether it's volunteering time or a money contribution—benefits the entire community as a whole.

Community Support

Since its inception, FCSLA has contributed regularly to Slovak educational and religious institutions. Today, the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association's philanthropic activities are known worldwide.

This exhibit is the largest collection of art, documents and historically significant objects from the Vatican—some of the world’s greatest treasures. Cleveland is one of three cities to be chosen to host the Vatican Splendors, which showcases 2,000 years of Vatican history.
