Christopher (Krsto) Cviic was born in Croatia in 1930 and went to school and university there, writes Fr Leo Chamberlain.
From when Krsto was seven his father was absent and he had to work both at his own education and to help his mother. He early showed much of the quiet and determination and ability that was to characterise his adult life.
He learned English as a boy (his spoken and written English was perfect), and as a young man, and in spite of circumstances, became a convinced and thoughtful Catholic.
