PULA: Celebration of the Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul

In Pula, on Sunday, June 29, 2025, we solemnly celebrated the champions of the apostles – Peter and Paul

Namely, the parish church in Pula, which is also the host of all the activities of the Croatian Catholic Church, “mons. Marcel Krebel” celebrates his heavenly patron saint on that day. It was especially solemn at the Mass “pro populo” at 10 a.m., which was led in concelebration by Mons. Ivan Štironja, Bishop of Poreč and Pula, together with the spiritual director of the Pula branch, Rev. Milan Mužin, and other priests.

At the invitation of the president of the Pula branch, the Holy Mass was attended by the president of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, Prof. Dr. Rok Čivljak, MD, together with his wife and family. The ceremony was broadcast directly via Croatian Radio Television – HRT 1. At the Mass, a mixed choir sang under the baton of Dr. Angelini, the president of the branch. After the Mass, the members of the branch with the president prof. Čivljak and his wife met in a short conversation with the bishops of Poreč and Pula and as a sign of gratitude presented him with an art painting – the work of our dear member from the Zagreb branch, Stjepan Katić.
