Croatian Catholics energized by new archbishop’s arrival

Count Louis Scalise among the excited. A loyal parishioner at St. Jerome, a Croatian ethnic parish located at 2823 S. Princeton Ave., Scalise was “elated” when word came in September that Bishop Blase Cupich of Spokane, Washington, would succeed the outgoing Cardinal George as head of the archdiocese of Chicago. Cupich’s Croatian heritage has been the source of much pride among Chicago-area Croatian Catholics like Scalise.
