Abstract

This article is devoted to the Church of St. Jerome in Rome on the occasion of its four hundredth anniversary. Particular attention is centered on the role of Pope Sixtus V, whose ancestors came from the region of Croatia. This church has great significance to Croatians, who have always made pilgrimages to Rome in great numbers. In last year's Messages for Immigrants' Day, the Croatian Bishops stated, that the Church of St. Jerome "occupies the first place outside the homeland" and that it is a "prominent sign of our national identify".
