Welcome to our website!

In the early twentieth century the Croatian people embraced the great ideals of the Radić brothers and joined the branches of the HPSS in large numbers. These branches promoted education, through which national awareness and self-confidence grew. Croatian cooperatives, the Croatian Sokol and other organizations were founded.

Our ancestors brought these noble principles to Canada and officially founded HSS Ontario as early as 1933. In the following years they continued their work across Canada, promoting patriotism and the sovereignty of the Croatian state.

Vjera u Boga i seljačka sloga!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2020 from the Members of HSS Vancouver

 

The HSS “Ivan Gundulić” branch wishes every Croatian in Vancouver and around the world a happy and blessed Christmas and a prosperous and happy New Year 2020. May the peace and love the Lord showed us on that quiet night in Bethlehem come alive again in the hearts of all people of good will. As the Croatian poet Dragutin Domjanić wrote long ago:

If I could tell Christmas

What I wish for most,

I’d ask it to give everyone

A heart full to the brim.

That nation be to nation

As brother is to brother,

And that for once the Croat, too,

Might be content.
