Summary/Abstract: In the new Czecho-Slovakia, the governmental regime did not show much interest in the cult of St. Cyril and Methodius at the beginning. In Slovakia, the veneration of St. Cyril and Methodius was not fully manifested until after 1920, after the consecration of the first Catholic bishops from Slovakia, who were also active there. Among them was the Bishop of Nitra, Mons. K. Kmet'ko (1920–1948). In the very first year of his episcopate, he took care of the liturgical celebration of the feast of St. Cyril and Methodius in the diocese to the highest level of liturgical celebration: he highly recommended the Apostolate of Sts. Cyril and Methodius to be introduced in the parishes. The idea of St. Cyril and Methodius also wound its way through the administration of the diocese under Apostolic Administrator E. Nécsey (1948-1968) J. Pásztor (1973–1988) and J. Ch. Korec (1990–2005).
