Parish News and Market History
We are Sts. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Church in Cary, NC. We are a small parish in the Eastern Catholic tradition, raising funds for a long-awaited new church. Our annual Christmas Market fundraiser, now in its 17th year, draws several thousand people from around central North Carolina and beyond to enjoy shopping, entertainment, and lots of food - all in the European Christmas Market tradition. This year we will be at the Kerr Scott Building to better accommodate the crowds! Our annual Pascha Market was a big success while our summer Market includes food and a popup market at the parish.
Mark your calendars!
Dec. 13-14, 2024: 17th Annual St. Nicholas Market now at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds' Kerr Scott Building!
