Cardinal Vinko Puljic, archbishop of Sarajevo, celebrated Mass in Croatian at Prince of Peace-Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church in Steelton on Saturday night.
“Be proud of where you came from,” Puljic told about 350 people at the Mass. “Don’t forget the spirit of your culture. Keep your belief in God as your parents, priests and sisters taught you. Don’t forget your homeland.”
Puljic, who became a cardinal in 1994 at the age of 49, was the church’s youngest cardinal and the first from Bosnia.
