A new Croatian centre in Manhattan, New York City has opened and was blessed last weekend.
The Croatian centre is part of the Roman Catholic Church of Sts. Cyril & Methodius and St. Raphael in Manhattan, New York City.
The Church has been the seat of a Croatian national parish, offering services in the Croatian language as well as services in English, since the 1970s. Although as a parish it’s been in existence for a 100 years.

It was created through the merger of two parishes, parish of St. Raphael and Croatian parish of St. Cyril and St. Methodius.
