400 Years of the Greek Catholic Church

The history of the Greek Catholic Church in our region begins in 1611 when the ununified Wallach bishop Simeon Vratanja, with the seat in Marča near Kloštar-Ivanić, professed catholic faith in Rome and recognised the Roman pope as the supreme Church authority. By that act he restored the unity of the church with the Apostle's seat as it existed in the first millennium.
