I rise today in tribute and recognition of the West Side Hungarian Reformed Church. which is celebrating its centennial anniversary. This month. the congregation will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1956 uprising against communism in Hungary. The Church has supported its members and community faithfully during its 100 years of service. In has served as a haven for immigrants and refugees during various stages of its historic pilgrimage. The Church has become a spiritual community comprised of Hungarian old timers. newcomers. and others associated with the congregation through family and religious ties. All the people of the greater Cleveland area have benefited from the West Side Hungarian Reformed Churchs participation in the communitys social and cultural activities.
