Parish Background
SS Cyril and Methody parish was started in late 1978 and early 1979 when a group of Orthodox Christians asked Bishop Kyrill of the Bulgarian Diocese of Toledo to accept them as a parish. On March 15, 1979 their wish was granted. The present day church stands on four acres of land that was donated by Phillip Morrison for the purpose of erecting a church. Ground breaking ceremonies were held on October 5, 1980 and the church was consecrated by Bishop Kyrill in October 1989. Today the parish is composed of a wide variety of people from many diverse backgrounds with the majority being converts.
