With faith in unity and the triumph of good we look forward to the coming light and the birth of new life. These holidays show us how to stand by one another when pestilence imposes restrictions upon human interaction. Let us, then, demonstrate how much we mean to one another, both in the homeland and in distant corners of the world.
Cherished members of the Croatian diaspora communities, members of Croatian minority enclaves and communities, and Croatians of Bosnia-Herzegovina,
As we round out this year, in which the Croatian Heritage Foundation has celebrated a major milestone through a number of events, notwithstanding the now familiar challenges, having accommodated prescribed circumstances that are out of our hands—we continue our work in bringing together Croatians and people of Croatian descent around the world. Through the dedicated work of our staff in the times ahead we will reinforce our efforts in bringing together our shared objectives in the preservation of our heritage and our identity.
With faith in unity and the triumph of good we look forward to the coming light and the birth of new life. These holidays show us how to stand by one another when pestilence imposes restrictions upon human interaction. Let us, then, demonstrate how much we mean to one another, both in the homeland and in distant corners of the world. Our desire for even more profound fostering of love of our fellow human, to give and receive care and courtesy, is guided by our need to be close to one another, for acceptance.
May peace rule your spirit at all times of the year, and may this Christmas and New Year bring you true happiness.
Cordially,
Mijo Marić, director, and the entire staff of the Croatian Heritage Foundation
