Injati – A Brief History of the Holy Trinity Greek Catholic Parish in Vrlika

Abstract

Based on archival research findings, the article puts forth a historical–chronological view of events concerning the Greek Catholic Parish of the Holy Trinity in Vrlika since its foundation until its de facto extinguishment following World War II. This paper provides, for the first time, a detailed account of the movement of the parish population and a demographic analysis based on the plight of its souls in 1887. The article demonstrates that the decisions of provincial and imperial authorities affected their numbers. The reasons for the disappearance of this small religious community are explained in the conclusion.
