We welcome everyone…
How did we start?
• The Hungarian Christian Society Magyar Ház was
built through the generosity of the members and
friends of the American-Hungarian Petöfi
Association. In 1993, then Club President Joseph
Ruggieri initiated the dream of the club having it’s
own home, a place where Hungarians could come
together to share their heritage. With generous
contributions from members, not only financial,
but time, sweat and sometimes tears, the dream
came true in 1994.
The first step…
Step by step…
The dream come true…
