Abstrakty
After the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948, Slovaks in the USA and Canada came to the aid of the Roman and Greek Catholic churches in Czechoslovakia, which the communist regime was trying to destroy. They raised funds for the support of Slovak émigré priests in Canada and in Rome, helped fund Vatican Radio broadcasts to Slovakia, helped to publish and smuggle religious publications to Slovakia, and helped to establish the monthly Slovenské hlasy z Rima, the scholarly annual Slovak Studies and the Slovak Institute in Rome. They also agitated for religious freedom in their homeland, for the creation of a Slovak Church Province, and they organized the first anti-government demonstration since 1969 on Good Friday 1988 in Bratislava.
