Dear Friends,
Our journey is long. 100 years of life! One hundred years of community, sacraments,
celebrations, and 100 years of sharing the good and bad events of life. We take this opportunity to thank Our Lord for his strength and for all the people who made it possible
for us to celebrate this jubilee: all the priests, sisters, parishioners, and friends of our
parish who, by their lives, helped to write the history of this parish. More than 36,000
days have passed from December of 1912 to April 29, 2012.
We thank God for every one of those days. With gratitude we remember our beginning, and reflect on all the people who filled our church pews, organized events, conWULEXWHG LQ EXLOGLQJ WKLV SDULVK FRPPXQLW\ RI 6W -HURPH¶V LQ &KLFDJR 7KLV SODFH LV

the good of the community, where talents can be realized and where love is the foundation of everything. We dreamed about a free Croatia. The contributions from this community are innumerable, because we sought Justice by following the Truth, always
aware that in the end, good shall prevail over evil. We wrote our history with dignity and
courageously stood up for hope for the years to come.

I have been honored by an invitation to contribute to this publication marking the centennial celebration of the
Croatian Catholic Parish of Saint Jerome in Chicago. The rich legacy of over seven thousand christenings, two thousand
and two hundred weddings and four thousand funerals recorded in the Parish archives made me pose and think of the
lives and labors of four or five generations of its parishioners and pastors. And as I perused the archival data on the history of your Parish, I felt deeply touched by both narratives of the collective and snippets of the personal histories.
These histories record hardships and extraordinary tenacities of the Croatian immigrants to Chicagoland. They
bear witness to their hopes and aspirations, disappointments and triumphs over a century in which they took part in several wars and struggled with economic crises. They also document their social successes as politicians, judges and other
professionals, athletes, artists and various celebrities and, trace them to their Bridgeport community, where they themVHOYHVRUWKHLUDQFHVWRUVEHORQJHGWR6W-HURPH¶V)RUH[DPSOHWKHODWH0D\RU%LODQGåLüDVZHOODVWKH'DOH\IDPLO\RU

Croatians from the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, its hinterlands and other parts of medieval Illyricum have
long worshiped St. Jerome as their own, as he was born in Dalmatia. In particular, Croatians who left their homeland,
while aspiring to extend their knowledge of the world and themselves, often chose this Doctor of the Church as their patron. It is this thirst for growth in doctrinal and other learning, so inherent to St. Jerome that has also endowed and

Croatians and all of their fellow learners in faith.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE
St. Jerome:
Home Away From Home
The pages that follow provide a brief history of the many
milestones we have experienced at this parish over the last
century.
We hope that the future generations will build upon this and
create just as many memories as we have today.
Sv. Jeronim:
Dom naše duše
Stranice koje slijede predstavljaju kratak pregled mnogih
dogaÿaja koje smo proživjeli u ovoj župi tijekom prošlog stoljeüa.
Nadamo se da üe buduüe generacije nadopuniti ove stranice i
stvoriti mnoge uspomene, kao što ih mi danas imamo.

Late 1800s
THE FIRST ARRIVALS
At the turn of the 20th century, thousands of Croatians, like many other immigrants, arrived in
Chicago in search of a new life and opportunities. Many settled in the Armour Square/
Bridgeport area, mostly in and around 25th Street & Wentworth Avenue, creating a Croatian
colony that quickly grew to about 5,000.
1900-te
RANI DOLASCI
Na poþetku 20. stoljeüa, tisuüe Hrvata, poput mnogih drugih doseljenika, stiglo je u Chicago u
potrazi za novim životom i moguünostima. Mnogi su se smjestili u okrugu Armour trga u
Bridgeportu, uglavnom u blizini 25. ulice i Wentworth Avenije, stvarajuüi hrvatsku koloniju koja
je vrlo brzo brojila 5,000 ljudi.
Early 1900s
FIRST PLACE OF WORSHIP: 25th Street & Princeton
Many of these newcomers came from the Dalmatian region of Croatia. As a new community and
as devout Catholics, they soon organized themselves. Since they did not have a church of their
own at the time, they requested the use of Bridgeport’s Bohemian Roman Catholic Church of St.
John Nepomucene and held a weekly Mass in Croatian there for several years. The church,
founded in 1871, was located at 25th Street and Princeton. It later moved to 30th & Lowe where it
finally closed its doors in 1990.
PRVA CRKVA: 25. ulica & Princeton
Veüina doseljenika je stigla iz hrvatske Dalmacije. Kao nova zajednica pobožnih katolika, brzo su
se organizirali. Buduüi da u to vrijeme nisu imali vlastitu crkvu, zatražili su na korištenje
slovaþku Crkvu Sv. Ivana Nepomuka, u kojoj su nekoliko godina slavili Svetu Misu. Ta Crkva
koja je osnovana 1871. godine, bila je smještena na 25. & Princeton ulici. Kasnije se preselila na
30.ulicu & Lowe, gdje ostaje do 1990. godine.
Aug. 15th, 1906
THE FIRST CELEBRATION OF VELIKA GOSPA
The Croatians of Bridgeport held one of the first Velika Gospa processions in the United States
followed by a Holy Mass at St. John Nepomucene on August 15th. Since then, more than 5
generations of Croatians have walked the same neighborhood honoring the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and followed the same rites and traditions as their early forefathers. The
Velika Gospa Procession is the oldest procession in the City of Chicago which has remained in
the same neighborhood and held on the same day.
15. kolovoza 1906.
POýETAK PROSLAVE VELIKE GOSPE
Hrvati Bridgeport-a održavaju jednu od prvih procesija Velike Gospe u Sjedinjenim Ameriþkim
Državama, nakon slavlja Svete Mise u Crkvi Sv. Ivana Nepomuka 15. kolovoza. Od tada, više od
5 generacija Hrvata hodali su istim putem u þast Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije, održavajuüi
obrede i tradiciju svojih predaka. Procesija Velike Gospe je najstarija procesija u gradu Chicagu
koja je ostala u istom dijelu grada i održava se na isti dan od svoga poþetka.
2
Nov. 5th, 1906
THE FIRST CHURCH GROUP IS FORMED
In an era where dangerous work conditions meant frequent death for the breadwinners of these
new families, the community banded together.
The Dalmatian Family Association “The
Miraculous Lady of Sinj,” became a fraternal organization founded by a group of men to assist
families in need of support, to offer life insurance options for workers and their families, and to
promote Croatian culture in the region. The association, also known in Croatian as “D.D.D.
ýudotvorna Gospa Sinjska,’’ or simply the Gospa Sinjska lodge, lasted more than 85 years until
it was dissolved on April 30, 1992.
5. studenog 1906.
PRVA CRKVENA UDRUGA
U doba kada opasni uvjeti rada þesto znaþe smrt uzdržavatelja obitelji, zajednica je povezana.
Udruga dalmatinskih obitelji “ýudotvorne Sinjske Gospe” postaje bratska organizacija osnovana
od strane grupe ljudi koji pomažu obiteljima u potrebi. Ista udruga nudi opciju životnog
osiguranja radnicima i njihovim obiteljima, te promiþe hrvatsku kulturu u regiji. Udruga, na
hrvatskom poznata kao “D.D.D. ýudotvorna Gospa Sinjska, ili Dom Gospe Sinjske, postojala je
više od 85 godina te je 30.travnja 1992.godine prestala s radom.
Early 1900s
MANY SETTLE “MALA DALMACIJA”
The area stretching from Wentworth Ave. to Stewart Ave. and 35th Street to 37th Street was
known as Little Dalmatia – an area settled by many Croatians from the Dalmatian region. Their
homes were eventually torn down to make way for Comiskey Park and its sprawling grounds.
Today, the old land plots of Little Dalmatia are covered with asphalt, having been converted to
parking lots for U.S. Cellular Field.
Ranih 1900-tih
MNOGI SU NASELILI “MALU DALMACIJU”
Podruþje koje se proteže izmeÿu Wentworth Avenije i Stewart Avenije te izmeÿu 35. i 37.ulice
bilo poznato I kao “Mala Dalamcija”- podruþje koje je bilo naseljeno velikim brojem Hrvata iz
Dalmacije. Njihove kuüe su kasnije srušene kako bi se napravio put za Comiskey park, baseball
stadion. Danas su stara zemljišta Male Dalmacije prekrivena asfaltom i parkiralište su stadiona
U.S. Cellular Field-a.
1906 – 1912
ARCHDIOCESE SEARCH FOR A CROATIAN PRIEST
Realizing there was a need to serve this growing population of Croatian immigrants, Fr. Juraj
Violica, the pastor of the Croatian church in Joliet, suggested to Archbishop James Edward
Quigley of Chicago, that he petition the Holy See to request that a Croatian-born priest come
and minister to this specific flock. The Holy See reached out to the Franciscans, whose
international headquarters was based in Rome, and they, in turn, contacted the Franciscans in
Croatia. The Franciscans have always been especially dedicated in ministering to the poor, thus
the mission seemed like a good match - to service and assist the poor Croatian immigrants of
Bridgeport.
1906.-1912.
NADBISKUPIJA TRAŽI HRVATSKOG SVEûENIKA
Shvativši da postoji potreba služiti ovoj rastuüoj populaciji hrvatskih iseljenika, fra Juraj Violica,
3
župnik hrvatske crkve u Joliet-u, predložio je þikaškom nadbiskupu James Edward Quigley-u da
podnese zahtijev Svetoj stolici da sveüenik, roÿen u Hrvatskoj, doÿe i služi svom narodu. Sveta
stolica posegnula je za franjevcima, sa meÿunarodnim sjedištem u Rimu, a oni su pak,
kontaktirali franjevce u Hrvatskoj. Franjevci su uvijek bili posebno posveüeni služenju
siromašnima, pa se služenje i potpora siromašnim hrvatskim iseljenicima u Bridgeportu þinila
dobrim izborom.
THE FIRST CROATIAN PASTOR ARRIVES
April 26th, 1912
Soon, the Bridgeport community greeted its first pastor. Father Leon Mediü arrived in Chicago
at the age of 38. He was sent by the Croatian Franciscan Province of St. Jerome, which was
based in the city of Zadar, along Croatia’s central Dalmatian coast. With a gracious invitation by
the Bohemian parish’s pastor, Fr. Leon began his ministry without his own parish, using St.
John Nepomucene for Sunday Mass.
26. travnja 1912. DOLAZAK PRVOGA HRVATSKOGA ŽUPNIKA
Uskoro zajednica Bridgeporta pozdravlja svog prvog župnika. Fra Leon Mediü dolazi u Chicago,
u svojoj 38. godini. Poslan je od strane Hrvatske franjevaþke provincije Sv. Jeronima, sa
sjedištem u Zadru, duž središnje dalmatinske obale. Na ljubazan poziv župnika, fra Leon poþinje
služiti nedjeljne Svete Mise u Crkvi Sv. Ivana Nepomuka.
CALL FOR A “NATIONAL” PARISH
Aug. 22th, 1912
Archbishop Quigley of Chicago delegates Fr. Leon to form a Croatian “national” parish to serve
the Croatians in Bridgeport. By then, Fr. Leon had accounted for almost 500 church-going
Croatian families in the neighborhood. These families came from the following regions:
Dalmatia (210), Banovina (200), Istria (50), Slavonia (35) and Bosnia and Hercegovina (10).
22. kolovoza 1912. POZIV ZA OSNIVANJE NACIONALNE ŽUPE
ýikaški nadbiskup Quigley šalje izaslanika fra Leona da formira hrvatsku nacionalnu župu koja
üe služiti Hrvatima u Bridgeportu. Do tada, fra Leon je obilazio gotovo 500 hrvatskih kršüanskih
obitelji koje su došle iz podruþja Dalmacije (210), Banovine (200), Istre (50), Slavonije (35) te
Bosne i Hercegovine (10).
FIRST MARRIAGE
Oct. 20th, 1912
The first officially recorded marriage took place at St. John Nepomucene. Fr. Leon officiated the
marriage of Domnius (Duje) Kaliterna (born in Spljet [Split]) & Anna (Ana) Vranešiü (born in
Chicago). In the old sacramental records, priests were obligated to write first names in Latin.
(until the 1960s). The marriage was short-lived, young Duje, age 25, died of kidney disease the
following January, and was buried from St. Jerome.)
20. listopada 1912. PRVO SKLAPANJE BRAKA
Prvo službeno vjenþanje se održalo Crkvi Sv. Ivana Nepomuka. Fra Leon je blagoslovio brak
Duje (Domnius) Kaliterna, roÿenoga u Splitu, i Ane (Anna) Vranešiü, roÿene u Chicagu. Do 60ih
godina sveüenici su starim zapisima sakramenata sveüenici bili dužni napisati imena na
4
latinskom jeziku. Nažalost, brak je trajao kratko jer je iduüega sijeþnja mladi Duje, u 25. godini,
umro od bolesti bubrega. (pokopan je iz Sv Jeronima)

Nov. 26th, 1912 FIRST LOCATION OF ST. JEROME’S CHURCH (25 th & Wentworth)
Father Leon and the community came together to purchase the first place of worship for the
Croatians of Bridgeport. St. Stephen’s, a German Evangelical Lutheran church built in 1871, was
up for sale, thus the church was purchased for $15,000 (a purchase price of about $340,000 in
today’s dollars). The purchase included the existing church, located at 215 W. 25th Street, and
the adjacent rectory at 217 W. 25th Street. Newspapers at the time, reported the transition and
re-naming of the new “Croatian Roman Catholic Church of St. Jerome.”
26. studenog 1912. PRVA LOKACIJA CRKVE SV. JERONIMA (25.ulica i Wentworth)
Fra Leon i zajednica kupili su prvo mjesto bogoslužja za Hrvate Bridgeporta. Tada se prodavala
Crkva Sv. Stjepana, njemaþka evanÿeoska luteranska crkva, sagraÿena je 1871.godine ( Njemci
su se selili na 57.ulicu i Sangamon), te su ju Hrvati kupili za 15,ooo $ (34o,ooo današnjih $).
Kupnja ukljuþuje Crkvu, koja se nalazi na 215 W 25.ulica te susjedni župni ured na 217 W
25.ulici. Tisak je tada izvijestio o imenovanju nove Hrvatske katoliþke crkve Sv. Jeronima.
Nov. - Dec. 1912
DALMATIAN OR CROATIAN CHURCH?
The Croatian community rolled up its sleeves to rapidly convert the Protestant church into a
Roman Catholic place of worship. At the same time, Fr. Leon turned his attention to some
growing tensions among his new flock. Many insisted that St. Jerome’s be called a “Dalmatian”
5
Roman Catholic Church, instead of “Croatian.” Archbishop Quigley met with the local leaders
and quickly realized they were confused about the Church’s definition of a “national” parish.
The Archbishop stepped in and explained to the community that a “national” parish means that
people are able to pray, hear sermons and go to Confession in the language native to their
nationality. Thus since Croatia was a nation, the parish could only be recognized and named
after the nation, not a region such as Dalmatia was. Moreover, the “national” parish was to be
inclusive of people from all regions from Croatia.
Studeni-prosinac 1912. DALMATINSKA ILI HRVATSKA CRKVA?
Hrvatska zajednica je zasukala rukave i brzo pretvorila Protestantsku crkvu u rimokatoliþko
mjesto bogoslužja. U isto vrijeme, fra Leon je usmjerio pažnju na neke rastuüe napetosti meÿu
narodom. Mnogi su inzistirali da se Sveti Jeronim nazove “dalmatinska” rimokatoliþka crkva
umjesto “hrvatska”. Nadbiskup Quigley sastao se sa lokalnim þelnicima i brzo shvatio
zbunjenenost u vezi definicije “nacionalne” župe nadbiskupije. Nadbiskup im je objasnio da
zajednica “nacionalna” župa znaþi da se ljudi mogu moliti, slušati propovijedi, te otiüi na
ispovijed na svom materinjem jeziku. Buduüi da je Hrvatska bila nacija, župa se jedino može
prepoznati i dobiti ime po narodu, a ne po svojoj regiji, kao što je Dalmacija. “Nacionalna” župa
je ukljuþivala sve regije Hrvatske.
Dec. 15, 1912
OFFICIAL BLESSING OF ST. JEROME CHURCH
Archbishop Quigley formalized his support for the Croatian community by attending the first
Sunday Mass of St. Jerome Croatian Church, and blessing the church on its day of dedication.
The Archbishop spoke beautifully, praising the Croatians and their nation. A handful of
misguided demonstrators outside were dispersed by church ushers.
15. prosinca 1912.
SLUŽBENI BLAGOSLOV CRKVE SV. JERONIMA
Nadbiskup Quigley daje svoju podršku hrvatskoj zajednici sudjelovanjem na prvoj nedjeljnoj

govorio, hvaleüi Hrvate. Nekolicina je prosvjedovala, ali su ih crkveni redari rastjerali.
ST. JEROME’S BY-LAWS
Dec. 15th, 1912
St. Jerome’s by-laws were prepared by Fr. Leon and church members Josip Zidaric (from Buzet
in Istria) and Bozo Zuanic (from Komize in Dalmatia). The booklet included 24 by-laws as
guidance on how to become and remain a parishioner, including a suggested minimum annual
donation of $6 from every family, or 50¢ monthly.
15. prosinca 1912. PRVI STATUT ŽUPE SV. JERONIMA

ST. JEROME’S MOVES TO 2819-2823 S. PRINCETON
Fr. Venceslav quickly realized the parish was too small for his growing flock. By the spring of
1922, there were at least 960 families/individuals donating to the church. Father Venceslav
arranged to purchase the Swedish Lutheran Salem Church at 2819 S. Princeton Avenue for
$26,900.00 (today’s equivalent to a purchase price of about $351,000.00). The purchase also
included today’s church and rectory (at 2823 S. Princeton) and a school with 4 classrooms (in
the back of the church – our small hall today). Built in 1884, the original church was a spiritual
home to a large Swedish population which had arrived in the Bridgeport neighborhood in the
mid-1800s.
PROLJEûE 1922. ŽUPA SV JERONIMA SELI NA 2819 S PRINCETON
Fra Venceslav uskoro uviÿa da je župa premala za njegovo brzo rastuüe stado. Do proljeüa 1922.,
bilo je najmanje 960 obitelji/pojedinaca koji su doprinosili crkvi. Fra Venceslav dogovorio je
kupnju Švedske luteranske salem crkve na 2819 S Princeton Aveniji za $26,900.00 (današnja
cijena oko $351,000.00). Kupnja ukljuþuje današnju Crkvu i župni ured te školu sa 4 uþionice (u
stražnjem dijelu crkve). Sagraÿena 1884.godine, crkva je izvorno bila dom velike švedske
populacije koja je došla u Bridgeport sredinom 1800-ih.
Summer of 1922 FIRST NUNS ARRIVE TO ESTABLISH NEW SCHOOL
Fr. Venceslav also moved quickly to open a Catholic school for the parish. He was in need of
teachers and so he requested the help of Sisters belonging to the Bosnian Province of the
Adorers of the Most Precious Blood of Christ. Three Croatian nuns arrived in the summer to
prepare and staff the soon-to-be-opened parish school. The three nuns were: Sr. Benedikta
Bakariü, who taught 1st & 2nd grade; Sr. Ksavjera, who taught 3rd & 4th grade; and Sr. Alojzija,
the cook. Their first convent was located at the former rectory of the old church on 25th Street.
LJETO 1922. DOLAZAK PRVIH ýASNIH SESTARA TE OSNIVANJE NOVE ŠKOLE
Fra Venceslav takoÿer brzo reagira kako bi otvorio katoliþku školu za župljane. Kako su mu bili
potrebni uþitelji, za pomoü je pitao þasne sestre koje su pripadale bosanskoj provinciji
“Klanjateljice predragocjene krvi Kristove”. U ljeto su stigle tri hrvatske þasne sestre kako bi se
pripremile za skoro otvaranje župne škole. To su bile: sestra Benedikta Bakariü, koja je uþila 1. i
2. razred, sestra Ksaverija, koja je uþila 3. i 4. razred, te sestra Alojzija, koja je kuhala. Njihov

2000 - early 2001 A NEW LOOK FOR THE ALTAR AND CHURCH
Under the leadership of Fr. Jozo Grubišiü, the interior of the church was painted and a new look
transformed the altar and sanctuary.
New images of the 12 Apostles adorned the Sanctuary – painted by Polish artist Zygmunt
Kimel, a native of Krakow. The ceiling was painted with a new motif and the Croatian
Franciscan coat of arms and the symbol of the Holy Spirit were applied to the ceiling of the
sanctuary area. The image of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane was cleaned and renewed –
the historic image dates back to the very construction of our church building in 1884. The
image, along with the basic internal architecture of our church, was largely unchanged since the
building was constructed.
Several new stained-glass images were added to the sanctuary and rear of the church. The
statues of the saints along the each sidewall were restored to their original beauty. The altar was
transformed with the installation of the tabernacle altar, matching inlaid side altars, a main
pulpit, a baptismal font and the communion rails - all marble remnants from St. Laurence
26
Church (7148 S. Dorchester Ave.), which closed its doors in 1999. Newly-cut white and black
marble flooring was also added to the sanctuary floor.
2000- poþetak 2001 NOVI IZGLED OLTARA I CRKVE
Pod vodstvom fra Joze Grubišiüa oliþen je inerijer crkve a novi izgled su dobili oltar i crkveno
svetište. Poljski umjetnik Zygmunt Kimel (Krakow, Poljska) slika crkveni interijer, ukljuþujuüi i
slike 12 apostola u svetištu crkve. Strop svetišta dobiva nove motive, a franjevaþki grb i simbol
Duha Svetog su dodani stražnjem zidu crkvenog svetšta. Slika Isusa u Getsemanskom vrtu, koja
datira od vremena izgradnje crkve 1884. godine, je oþišüena i obnovljena. Slike, kao i untrašnja
arhitektura crkve ostaju oþuvane od vremena gradnje crkve. Nekoliko novih vitražnih prozora su
dodani svetištu i crkvi. Kipovima svetaca koji krase crkvene prolaze vraüena je originalna
ljepota. Oltar je izmijenjen dodavanjem novog tabernakula koji svojim stilom i ukrasima
odgovara boþnim oltarima, propovjedaonice, krstionice i priþesne ograde za što je korišten
mramor iz crkve Sv. Laurence, 7148 S. Dorchester Ave., zatvorene 1999. Obnova crkvenog
svetišta je dovršena postavljanjem novog crno-bijelog mramornog poda.

The first location on 25th Street near

When the parish moved to
2823 S. Princeton Ave. in 1922, the old brick
façade received a new inscription stating

In 1954, the old brick

In 1997, the contemporary

brighter future.

In Chicago there are now three schools where young Croatians can go to learn
Croatian singing, dancing and playing tambura. These schools are associated with the
parishes of Alojzija Stepinac Mission, under the sponsorship of the Croatian Cultural
Center, and there were schools with the parishes of St. Jerome, Holy Trinity, and Sacred
Heart. These schools have produced many excellent dancers and singers along with
talented musicians. Unfortunately after graduation these performers had no place to
display their talents. In the year of 2005, this led to the formation of Kulturno

Thank you, God, for the tremendous gift it has been to
live directly across the street from St. Jerome Croatian
Church. We thank you for the powerful intercession
of St. Jerome!
We thank you for our Priests and Sisters, who were
and are our wonderful shepherds, teachers, friends
and extended family. Our fondest memories are of
festive gatherings in our home in anticipation of Holy
Mass. The church bells were our resounding call to
time with God in our spiritual home.

May God Bless your good works

Maria, Jenny and Miriam Rodriguez
For 100 years, St. Jerome Croatian Catholic Church has provided many Catholics
in Chicago with their spiritual home. For Croatians in particular, the parish has
served as a home away from their homeland. Far from family and friends, Croatian immigrants were always able to feel welcome in a familiar and loving environment. They embraced their adopted community while they worked tirelessly to
instill their children with their cultural and religious traditions.
A place like St. Jerome made it possible and worthwhile. Throughout the years,
we have considered it as our second family. Its elementary school and the
³&DUGLQDO6WHSLQDF´&URDWLDQ6FKRROKDYHHQULFKHGRXUFKLOGUHQ¶VOLYHVLQFRXQWOHVV
ways. We have created and nurtured our numerous relationships within the comPXQLW\2XUVWURQJUHOLJLRXVWLHVUHIOHFWWKHSDULVK¶VFRQVWDQWVSLULWXDOJXLGDQFHLQ
our daily life. Its proud Croatian roots have encouraged us to cherish our rich
cultural identity.
We hold these memories near and dear to our hearts as we take great pride in St.

presence in all of our lives today in 2012, it continues to strengthen the faithful.
May the coming years be just as joyful, prosperous and proud!

Ljubav je velikoduãn
na, dobrostiva je ljubav;
ne zavidi, ljubav se ne hvasta, ne nadima se.
Nije nepristojna, ne traåii svoje, nije razdraålljiva,
ne pamti zlo; ne raduje se nepravdi,
a raduje se istini.
Sve pokriva, sve vjeruje,
svemu se nada, sve podnosi.
Ljubav nikad ne prestaje.

na stotoj obljetnici!
Sincere and heartfelt congratulations to
on your 100th year!
The prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Danijela, Blair and Nikola Sandberg

He lived a hard and honest life to the end at age 90.
He worked twenty two years on the seas, starting at age 14 as a
deckhand, then as a merchant marine with the Italian Maritime Fleet
until age 36.
He was the lifeline for his mother, father and four sisters during all those
years at sea.
He left the Old World of Europe behind and arrived in the U.S.A. as an
immigrant in 1955.

His fruits of labor at the steel mill allowed him to provide for his wife,
Anna, and son, Andrew.
He stayed active in retirement working on his garden and house.
He went to meet our Lord after almost six years of stroke-related health
challenges.

A Loving Family Man, Helpful Neighbor and Good Friend
John was one of those members of the community that gave his
time freely during the annual August 15th feast. He worked tirelessly helping his good friend Joe Lascola and sister Jean Zekich
at the beef stand and helping the ladies in the kitchen preparing
the lamb, cooking alongside Mary Mandich and many of the
other wonderful ladies that worked in the kitchen at that time.

My memory of going to St.
Jerome School is rewarding
and wonderful. The nuns
made sure that we understood what they were teaching. They taught us respect
and how to pray. I believe
that prayers are powerful. I
thank God and my parents
that I had the opportunity to
attend St. Jerome School
and belong to the beautiful
St. Jerome Church. It
makes me very happy when
I come to St. Jerome
Church.
