On the feast day of Blessed Aloysius Stepinac, retired Bishop Antun Škvorčević was the main celebrant at a ceremonial Eucharistic mass held in the parish of the Holy Trinity in Krašić. The mass was co-celebrated by a group of priests, including retired Bishop Nikola Kekić and local priest Ivan Vučak. During this gathering, Vučak welcomed the attendees and highlighted the significance of the event, encouraging prayers for the canonization of Stepinac, who is revered as a martyr and a symbol of faith among Croatians.

Bishop Škvorčević, in his introductory remarks, reminded the congregation of the importance of holding steadfast to the truths exemplified by Stepinac. He underscored that Stepinac represents a pivotal figure who teaches that loving one's own nation need not entail hatred towards others. This sentiment reinforces the message of unity and understanding amidst differing beliefs and identities, which resonates strongly in the contemporary socio-political climate of Croatia.

The event serves as a reminder of Stepinac's enduring legacy, highlighting his commitment to faith and his martyrdom. The calls for his canonization reflect a broader desire among Croatian Catholics to honor a figure they believe exemplifies righteousness and spiritual strength. As the community continues to celebrate and reflect upon Stepinac’s life, the implications of his teachings on coexistence and national pride remain relevant and significant.
