Franjo Kuharić was born on 15 April 1919 in [[Krašić|Pribić]]<ref name=vpo>[https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/documentation/cardinali_biografie/cardinali_bio_kuharic_f.html "KUHARIĆ Card. Franjo", Vatican Press Office]</ref> as the thirteenth and final child born to his poor parents Ivan Kuharić and Ana Blažić.
 
In 1934, he began his theological and philosophical education at the archdiocesan classical lyceum in [[Zagreb]], and continued at [[University of Zagreb|the college]].<ref name=vpo/> His education was completed in 1945. He received his solemn [[ordination]] to the priesthood in mid-1945 in the [[Zagreb Cathedral]] from [[Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac|Alojzije Stepinac]] and began his pastoral work in Zagreb from 1945 until 1964.<ref name=CD/> His first pastoral assignment after his ordination was to serve as a chaplain in small villages surrounding Zagreb before Stepinac sent him as a pastor to the RadobojaRadoboj village.<ref name=SEB/>
 
In 1964 Kuharić became one of the archdiocese's auxiliary bishops and was named Titular Bishop of Meta. He received his [[episcopal consecration]] as a bishop in mid-1964 from [[Franjo Šeper]] in the archdiocesan cathedral.<ref name=vpo/> In 1964 and in 1965 he attended – as a bishop – the last two sessions of the [[Second Vatican Council]] as a Council Father. In 1969 he was made the apostolic administrator for the archdiocese after Cardinal Šeper was summoned to [[Rome]] to assume a new position which put Kuharić in charge of the archdiocese as its interim head. The decisive moment in his episcopate came in 1970 – ending the interim administration – after [[Pope Paul VI]] named Kuharić as the newest [[Archbishop of Zagreb]].<ref name=CD/> It was following his appointment that his [[alma mater]] awarded him a doctorate in 1970.<ref name=SEB/> Kuharić also served as the [[Episcopal Conference of Yugoslavia|President of the Yugoslavian Episcopal Conference]] from 1970 until 1993 when the conference was abolished in light of the creation of [[Croatian Bishops' Conference|a Croatian conference]]; he led that from its inception until 1997. The next decisive moment came in 1983 after [[Pope John Paul II]] elevated him into the [[cardinalate]] as the [[Saint Jerome of the Croats|Cardinal-Priest of San Girolamo dei Croati]]. He retired from his see after over two decades of service in mid-1997 and soon after lost the right to participate in a future papal conclave after he turned 80 in 1999.<ref name=CD/>
