The First Catholic Slovak Union, a Slovak fraternal organization sometimes simply referred to as "Jednota"-- the Slovak word for "Union," is one of the oldest ethnic fraternal organizations in America. It was founded in Cleveland in 1890 to serve the needs of Slovak workers and their families. In 1934, Jednota built its first headquarters office building at 3289 East 55th Street in Cleveland. Father Dubosh, the Supreme Chaplain for Jednota, is seen in this photo standing in front of the new headquarters building with other Jednota officers.
