Last month the Croatian Post has released a commemorative stamp in honour of Fr. Antun Cvek, member of the Croatian Province of the Society of Jesus who died in May 2019. The stamp was printed in 100 000 copies.

Fr. Cvek was a great benefactor and friend of the sick and elderly people. He was ordained priest in 1974 but from 1969 till his death he was involved in caritative work and apostolate of elderly and sick people, those who were alone. In the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Zagreb he founded a first group of people who helped him visiting those in need as well as a spiritual and prayer group as a support for such apostolate. From that small group developed a Catholic association called Kap dobrote (a Drop of goodness) as a support for those who were in need. His nick name was “The good spirit of Zagreb”, and he was also cofounder of the Foundation Biskup Lang.

For his long, unselfish and caritative work Fr. Cvek received many awards and among them one of the highest Croatian state decorations.
