ANGELO BARTULICA

I am the  fourth of five children born to Nicholas and Bozica Bartulica.  My parents both emigrated from Croatia, which was a republic in the former Yugoslavia.  Being raised by immigrant parents really enabled me to understand the hope that all immigrants have for their families.  This has also helped me be able to see the global reality of the Catholic Church.  I am a member of St. James Parish in St. Joseph, MO.  Currently I am in my fourth year of theology at Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, IL.  Upon completing this year I look forward to being ordained as a transitional deacon in May and then to the sacred priesthood on a date that has not yet been set.
