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.

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 ,YDQ0HãWURYLüZKRVFXOSWHGWKHIDPRXVWZLQVWDWXWHV7KH%RZPDQDQG7KH6SHDUPDQWKDWSLHUFHWKHVN\DERYHWKH HQWUDQFHRIWKH*UDQW3DUNZHUHDOOGUDZQWR6W-HURPH¶V%XWDERYHDOOWKHVHKLVWRULHVEHDUUHFRUGRIWKHSLYRWDOUROH H[WUDRUGLQDU\VXFFHVVHVRIWKH6W-HURPH¶V&URDWLDQ&KXUFKLQSURYLGLQJWKHIRFXVDVZHOODVZD\VDQGPHDQVIRUWKH members of the Parish to reach out and help one another.

Centennial Yearbook copyright 2012 by St. Jerome Croatian Parish, Chicago 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. 1 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 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 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 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 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 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 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 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) FIRST BURIAL Oct. 28th, 1912 The first recorded burial was officiated by Fr. Leon. He buried Josip Duþiü, age 35, who died of pneumonia on Oct. 26th. By 1913, Fr. Leon would officiate in 62 funeral Masses. 28. listopada 1912. PRVI POKOP Prvi zabilježeni pokop održao je fra Leon. Pokopao je Josipa Duþiü, koji je u svojoj 35. godini umro od upale pluüa, 26. listopada. Do 1913. godine, fra Leon je odslužio 62 pogrebne mise. FIRST BAPTISM Nov. 11th, 1912 The first officially recorded baptism took place at St. John Nepomucene. Fr. Leon baptized Edwardus-Joannes [Edward-John] Depeder (born on Oct. 13th). Death records show that a John Depeder, age 3, died Oct. 28, 1915, and was buried from St. Jerome. By 1913, Fr. Leon baptized 142 children. By 1922, more than 1,000 children had been baptized. 11. studenog 1912. PRVO KRŠTENJE Prvo službeno zabilježeno krštenje je održano u Crkvi Sv. Ivana Nepomuka. Fra Leon je krstio Edwardus-Joannes (Edward-John) Depeder, roÿenog 13. listopada. Prema knjigama umrlih, John Depeder umro je 28. listopada 1915. godine, u dobi od 3 godine te je pokopan iz Crkve Sv. Jeronima. Do 1913. godine fra Leon je krstio 142 djece. Do 1922. bilo je kršteno više od 1000 djece. 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 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 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 Svetoj Misi u hrvatskoj Crkvi Sv Jeronima i blagoslivlja i posveüuje Crkvu. Nadbiskup je lijepo 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 Statut župe Sv. Jeronima pripremili su fra Leon i þlanovi župe Josip Zidaric (iz Buzeta u Istri) i Bozo Zuanic (iz Komiže u Dalmaciji).

PRVA KRIZMA U Crkvi Sv Jeronima održana je prva Krizma. Nadbiskup Quigley je krizmao 105 vjernika. 1914-1919 WORLD WAR I While Europe was ravaged by World War I, the United States was in need of a workforce and lured another wave of immigrants to the land of opportunity. 1914.-1919. PRVI SVJETSKI RAT Dok je europa bila pogoÿena Prvim svjetskim ratom, Sjedinjene Ameriþke Države su u velikoj potrebi za novim radnim snagama te nastupa drugi val doseljenika u zemlju novih moguünosti. 1914 WEDDINGS Eager to marry, many Croatian men sent for Croatian women from the homeland. Others met their partners here in Chicago. Large group photos were taken to mark the occasions, which included kumovi (godparents) and an extended bridal party. 1914. VJENýANJA Kako su se htjeli vjenþati, mnogi hrvatski muškarci tražili su hrvatske žene u domovini. Neki su upoznali svoje supružnike ovdje u Chicagu. Na vjenþanjima je snimljen velik broj fotografija kako bi se obilježio taj dogadjaj, koji ukljuþuje kumove i dugu svadbenu proslavu. August 1916 2ND PASTOR ARRIVES Fr.

Ambrose officiated 104 funerals, 22 in October alone, a tragic record in the history of the parish. 1918. ZAPISI SMRTNIH SLUýAJEVA OD EPIDEMIJE GRIPE Epidemija Španjolske gripe zahvatila je umorne, gladne i uspavane hrvatske radnike i njihove obitelji. Fra Ambrozije nazoþio je na 104 pogreba, od kojih je þak 22 bilo u listopadu, što je bio tragiþni rekord u povijesti župe. 1919-1921 3RD PASTOR ARRIVES Fr. Placid Belaviü served as the parish’s 3rd pastor. With the help of his faithful parishioners, he was able to pay down the debt of the church on 25th Street. 1919.-1921.

Vrijeme njegovog službovanja bilo je obilježeno velikim promjene u poslovanju župe i životu župne zajednice. 8 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE 1921 CROATIAN CATHOLIC UNION A benevolent organization, the Croatian Catholic Union (CCU), was established in 1921 in Gary, Indiana. Parishioners of St. Jerome’s soon joined. 1921. HRVATSKA KATOLIýKA ZAJEDNICA Dobrotvorna organizacija, Hrvatska katoliþka zajednica (HKZ) osnovana je 1921.godine u Garyu, Indiana. Uskoro joj se prikljuþuju župljani Sv. Jeronima. Spring of 1922 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 prvi samostan bio je u bivšem župnom dvoru stare crkve na 25.ulici. 9 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE Fall of 1922 ST. JEROME’S SCHOOL OPENS St. Jerome’s first school year begins with almost 200 students, enrolled in 1st to 4th grade. The classes were held in the building behind the church. JESEN 1922.

ŽUPNA DVORANA Stara crkva na 25.ulici i Wentworth službeno postaje župna dvorana. 1922 NEW CONVENT FOR SISTERS In an effort to bring the sisters closer in proximity to the church and school, it was decided that a suitable residence be purchased. A new convent was purchased just north of the church on Princeton Ave. 1922. NOVI SAMOSTAN ZA SESTRE U nastojanju da se sestre dovedu bliže crkvi i školi, odluþeno je da se kupi pogodno prebivalište. Kupljen je novi samostan, sjeverno od crkve na Princeton Aveniji. 1924-1925 SCHOOL EXPANSION With a growing student populace, Fr. Venceslav needed to expand. To accommodate this need, 4 new classrooms were created in a new addition built north of the classrooms behind the church. Those new classrooms were eventually replaced with what is today the garage and the lamb shed. 1924-1925 ŠIRENJE ŠKOLE Zbog rasta broja uþenika, fra Venceslav je morao proširiti školu. Sagraÿene su 4 nove uþionice, sjeverno od uþionica iza crkve. Uþionice su današnja garaža i mjesto za pripremu janjetine za Veliku Gospu. 1926 TAMBURA GROUP “JADRANSKA VILA” The tamburitza group, Jadranska Vila, was formed and entertained audiences for several years.

KUPLJEN TREûI SAMOSTAN Fra Venceslav i njegovi vjerni župljani kupili su još jednu kuüu u susjedstvu postojeüeg samostana. Sestre su se preselile u novi dom, a njihov stari samostan postao je djeþji vrtiü. 1928-1936 5TH PASTOR ARRIVES Fr. Blaž Jerkoviü served as the parish’s 5th pastor. Several societies flourished under his direction, and his support for a basketball team paved the way to a championship and boosted school spirit. He was also tackled the renovation of the convent and the kindergarten. 1928.-1936. DOLAZAK PETOG ŽUPNIKA Fra Blaž Jerkoviü bio je peti župnik. Nekoliko društava je procvjetalo pod njegovim vodstvom, a njegova podrška košarkaškom školskom timu utrla je put na prvenstvo i potaknula duh škole. Fra Blaž je takoÿer potaknio obnovu samostana i vrtiüa. BLESSING OF THE NEW CHURCH BELLS Aug. 15th, 1928 Within months, Fr. Blaž purchased new bells for the church.

Blaž was limited in how much could be accomplished in renovations and the church’s financial outlook. By 1933, the number of contributing parishioners fell from 890 to 749 and the average annual income fell to about $1,929. 1929.-1935. AMERIKANCI POGOĈENI TEŠKIM VREMENIMA Velika depresija zahvatila je mnoge župljane Sv Jeronima. Mnogi ljudi izgubili su svoja radna mjesta, prisiljavajuüi obitelji da prihati pomoü vlade kako bi opstali. Fra Blaž je bio ograniþen i u obnovi izgleda crkve. Do 1933.godine broj župljana smanjen je sa 890 na 749 i prosjeþni godišnji prihod je pao na oko 1,929$. 1929 THIRD ORDER OF ST. FRANCIS The Third Order of St. Francis group is established. 1929.

Svjetskog rata i pad Nezavisne države Hrvatske postao je povod za dolazak novog vala hrvatskih imigranata u Sjedinjene ameriþke države. Osnutak komunistiþke Jugoslavije 1945. godine je znaþio politiþki i vjerski progon velikog broja Hrvata te ubojstvo preko 600 sveüenika. Zatvaranje crkvenog klera i politiþkih disidenata samo je naglasio gubitak hrvatske slobode i postao povod postupnog odlaska iz zemlje. Procijenjuje se da je u šire podruþje Chicaga 1945 godine došlo najmanje 20,000 Hrvata.

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 A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH * POVIJESNI PREGLED NAŠE ŽUPE Church (7148 S.

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. July 2001 21st PASTOR LEADS THE PARISH Fr.

Maria, Jenny and Miriam Rodriguez Page 130 Ƈ St. Jerome Croatian Parish Ƈ 1912²2012 Ƈ Chicago 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.

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.
