---HISTORY---
With the growing number of migrants arriving from Croatia to Melbourne during the 1960’s, Rev. Josip Kasić (who arrive on the 4th May 1961), saw the great need and necessity in establishing a Croatian Catholic Centre where these people could gather together, attend mass, and receive the sacrament in their own native language. At the time of his arrival, there already existed a strong Croatian population of 20,000 and which grew from day to day. With the great support and persistence of the community, the present Church was acquired and blessed by the late Mgr. Moran on the 30th December 1962. It was named after the first Croatian saint, Nikola Tavelić, who died a martyr’s death in Jerusalem in 1391. His feast day is celebrated on the 14th November each year, being the day of his death.
