Fra Nikola Jurišić baptizes triplets in Bern
Fra Nikola Jurišić performed the baptism of the Gadža family's triplets in Bern, Switzerland. This event marks the first baptism conducted by Jurišić since arriving for service in Switzerland and is reported to be the first instance of triplets being baptized in the country.
The triplets—girls named Marina, Matea, and Ana, two of whom are identical—were born at 35 weeks. Their mother, Verica, shared that the pregnancy was unexpected and initially a shock, noting that medical professionals remarked on the rarity of the occurrence. The family, who grew up in Switzerland, is supported by friends, neighbors, and relatives in managing the demands of their growing household.
