The commemoration began with the Sunday afternoon Hungarian mass in the Cistercian Abbey. At the conclusion of the service, a few 56-ers and their friends gathered around the Kopjafa monument in front of the church.

I see a lot of you posted, wrote about the successful Mardi Gras.

HAPPY 2020! Thank you ALL for making our New Year’s Eve Party so great and memorable!

The program opened with the Hungarian Mass in the Cistercian abbey. Then gathered at the newly relocated monument the Kopjafa, where they listened to Viceconsul in Houston, Mr. Gabor Markocsany’s solemn speech about the Hungarian revolution.  Then Eva Beluska, the (MMCC) Hungarian club’s president told the audience the story of the relocation. Because the old location in the sloping wet soil did not provide adequate support, and could not be approached from all sides, the club leaders for years tried to resolve the problem.

This was a very action-packed celebration for the DFW Hungarians. It all started Saturday, on the 24th, when we met and greeted at the airport, the Hungarian National Senior Soccer team. They made us feel proud as they came out in a group (about 40 guys) all dressed in their uniforms. After we all shook hands with each and every one of them, they went to their hotel, and we drove to Duncanville – to the Museum of International Cultures.

We had another successful Hungarian May Fest organized by the Metroplex Magyar Cultural Circle (MMCC).
