Our
Mission
The mission is to represent the
Slovene community in Ramos Mejia, in the city of Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
The Slom¹ek Home was founded
through hard work, idealism, and sacrifice of our fathers and grandfathers.
Those of us who grew up and developed our Sloveneness in this home, spent our
youth in the warm embrace of the Catholic faith, Slovene culture, and national
consciousness.
Our
Purpose
We are the true testimony of the
fulfillment of our founders and their successors’ dreams. In those difficult
first years, when funds were being collected for the Home, the founders defined
the purpose as follows:
1 – to maintain and cultivate
Slovene consciousness in all Slovenes who live within the area
2 – to educate and cultivate
members in the Slovene spirit
3 – to deepen and consolidate
spiritual values and moral sense in the spirit of the Slovene Christian
tradition, and to offer material assistance if needed.
We continue to
reconfirm, spread, and realize this purpose.
Our
Activities
Our activities in various contact
areas are directed by the fulfillment of this purpose. The organizations, which
are presented on the website, operate within the assigned areas. The Committee,
the Pastor, the School, the Youth, the Young Men and Women, The Association of
Women and Mothers, the Cultural Section, the Economy Section and the Social
Activities Section organize the activities of our members in search of the
realization of the original purpose.
