Caritas of the Archdiocese of Zagreb was established on 20 October 1933 by the Archbishop of Zagreb, Monsignor Antun Bauer. His goal was to unify charitable initiatives within the Archdiocese of Zagreb into organized charitable work. Archbishop Bauer entrusted the care of Caritas to Alojzije Stepinac, who also became the editor of the KARITAS informational newsletter. Charitable activities within the Archdiocese flourished with the support of Archbishop Stepinac, who wholeheartedly advocated for providing charitable assistance to those in need. He made a significant contribution to the care and treatment of war orphans in 1942 and 1943.
