Religion in Croatia
After World War II, half of the survivors chose to settle in Israel, while an estimated 2,500 members continued to live in Croatia.[4] According to the 2011 census, there were 509 Jews living in Croatia, but that number is believed to exclude those born of mixed marriages or those married to non-Jews.Religion classes (Croatian: vjeronauk) are organized widely in public elementary and secondary schools, most commonly coordinated with the Catholic Church.The Catholic Church in Croatia receives state financial support and other benefits established in concordats between the Government and the Vatican.Religious and Faith groups based abroad must submit written permission for registration from their country of origin.
