Cultural Commitment
The
First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association (FCSLA) views cultural commitment as
fundamental to its mission. "To cultivate the Slovak language and customs
and to preserve them for future generations" is one of our corporate
objectives outlined in our Constitution and Bylaws.* We endeavor to fulfill this
commitment by promoting those activities that further our Slavic heritage and
culture.
FCSLA is proud to endorse The
Slovak School for Children. This opportunity, developed and presented
by a group of dedicated individuals, meets our corporate criteria. For more information
about enrollment, class schedules, curriculum and course materials, please visit
the school's website at www.slovakschool.com.
If you have an idea regarding
how to cultivate and preserve the Slavic culture in your area, and have a group
of individuals who are willing to ambitiously pursue the development and
delivery of this idea, please contact the National
Office. We are eager to discuss your plans and ideas with you.
