Marin Srakić in 2003 sent a letter to his Excellency Mr. Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski, the prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome in which he appealed for the Theology in Đakovo to be raised to the level of the Catholic Theological Faculty in Đakovo. After that, the Cardinal requested more Information and supplementary material to the documentation submitted. Bishop Srakić informed the Croatian Conference of Bishops of his intention and the Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Zagreb and the Senate of Osijek University. The Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Zagreb and Croatian Conference of Bishops approved Bishop Srakić's initiative. In the autumn of 2004 and spring 2005, the documents required were fervently gathered and some were supplemented and corrected. The Croatian Minister of Science, Education and Sports, dr. Dragan Primorac on 31 May 2005 issued approval for the new Faculty to being. Following extensive construction works and the collection of a multitude of documents on 4 June 2005 Cardinal Grocholewski, signed a Decree to found the KBF in Đakovo and appointed the Grand Chancellor issuing his 'nihil obstat' for lecturers and the first dean of the new Faculty.
