Life

Fr. Stipić was born in Bosanski Novi, in the present day Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina to Croatian Roman Catholic parents. He spent his childhood in Lipik, where he was baptized. He attended elementary school in Lipik, but due to the war, continued in Zagreb and Čazma. After elementary school in 1993, he enrolled in the Archdiocesan Classical High School in Zagreb and began his priestly formation at the Inter-Diocesan Minor Seminary.[1]

In 1997 he entered the Greek Catholic Theological Seminary of the Eparchy of Križevci and studied at the Catholic Theological Faculty in University of Zagreb. He was ordained deacon on November 8, 2002 and priest on October 18, 2003 for the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci.[2] In the same year, he started serving rastoral work in the local Greek Catholic parishes.

In 2007 he received the title of proto-priest and took over the pastoral care of Greek Catholics in Dalmatia. Fr. Stipić served as a parish priest of Jastrebarsko since 2012 until 2019.[1]

On March 18, 2019, he was appointed by Pope Francis as an Apostolic Administrator of vacant Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci without dignity of bishop.[2]
