The Slovenian Church of St. Cyril in New York is a historic religious institution located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan and Slovenia's cultural center in New York City. It holds historical significance for Slovenia and its people, having played a pivotal role for over a century, including during Slovenia's independence. It is currently the only place in New York where Slovenians meet. Since no Slovenian businesses have offices in New York, apart from the country's delegation to the United Nations, it stands as the city's sole Slovenian location.[1][2]

This church has served as a focal point for the Slovenian immigrant community in New York City for many years, offering a place of worship and cultural connection.[1][3]
