Church of Holy Family in Solin, Catholic church in Solin, Croatia.
The Church of Holy Family is a Catholic church building in Solin with two main structures: the primary church building and a pastoral center with a southwest-facing main entrance. The structure uses stone from the Brač and Trogir regions for its construction.
The idea of a new church was moved into planning in 2009, and construction began in 2013, when Archbishop Marin Barišić blessed the site on 4 October. It was built on the former parking lot between the old cemetery and the Zvonimir cultural centre. Barišić consecrated the church on 5 September 2020, and on 16 September 2020 Ante Jozić was ordained bishop there.
The interior features mosaics and frescoes created by Jesuit father Marko Rupnik and collaborators from the Aletti Center. These artworks shape the spiritual experience when entering the church.
The church stands between the old cemetery and the Zvonimir cultural centre, on the site of a former car park. It has six entrances, the main one facing southwest. Weekday Masses are held in the old parish church, while Sunday and feast-day Masses and larger religious events take place here.
The location stands where early Croatians received Christian baptism, a site known as 'Croatian Jordan'. This historical connection makes it a special place for believing visitors.
