Cycle lengths modulo $k$ in large 3-connected cubic graphs

We prove that for all natural numbers $m$ and $k$ where $k$ is odd, there exists a natural number $N(k)$ such that any 3-connected cubic graph with at least $N(k)$ vertices contains a cycle of length $m$ modulo $k$. We also construct a family of graphs showing that this is not true for 2-connected cubic graphs if $m$ and $k$ are divisible by 3 and $k\geq 12$.
