Abstract

Father Kuzma Škarpa was born in town of Stari Grad in 1837 and ordained a priest in 1861. He performed the chaplain duty in Stari Grad and Splitska and he was a pastor in Vrisnik and then a long-standing pastor in his hometown (1885 - 1915). The focal point of this paper is exactly on his pastor duty in town of Stari Grad. He took over the parish just before the autonomists lost at municipal elections in 1887. Being a supporter of autonomists’ idea, Father Kuzma Škarpa still favorized Italian language in everyday communication and liturgy despite party switching. He was constantly opposed to municipal administration, local Dominicans and the bishop Jordan Zaninović who he had a court dispute with, and he lost eventually. He died on February 14, 1915 and left his assets to St Stephen Parish and his nephews by his will made back in 1913.
