After World War II, a small Slovenian community of about 500 members formed, which settled between 1947 and 1953, mostly from the Littoral.
In 1958 the Slovenian priest Janez Grilc arrived in Venezuela from Argentina, who proved to be an excellent organizer.
That same year masses in Slovene began, and also pilgrimages with marked national qualities, followed the social and cultural gatherings.
At that time, they formed the Asociación Eslovena (Slovenian Association), which is still active and which holds an annual gathering in Valencia in which a pilgrimage is carried out and a mass is offered.
Due to the small number of Slovenian residents, a cultural center of their own did not exist, and so they participated in the events and celebrations of the Hogar Croata de Caracas (Croatian Club).
