	THE CROATIAN FRATERNAL UNION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In spite of the fact that the Croatian Fraternal Union was quite a successful fraternal society, and its assets were steadily increasing together with its total insurance in force (as a result of the introduction of the most modern and favorable rate tables), since the Fourteenth Convention of 1975, its membership has been in decline.
		The goal of the CFU was to convince all Croatians, both in the USA and Canada, that the Croatian Fraternal Union was the oldest and largest Croatian organization in the world, and that it welcomed all Croats and other Slavs of various political and religious beliefs, as long as they appreciated liberty and fraternalism.
		The Croatian Fraternal Union has throughout its history stood by the Croatian people in their struggle to be free people, even in the times of their greatest oppression, the times when it was unpopular to be associated with that country.

	spacesofidentity 3/2001— Duric: The Croatian Diapora in North America
		The disuse into which the Croatian language had fallen among Croatian Americans was noted at the autumn session of the CFU in 1982, as well as the lack of qualified teachers and the danger that the Croatian language might disappear among the diasporic community within next 15 years.
		Already at the 17th convention of the CFU, which was held in September 1987, “the decision to cooperate with the Old Homeland was reached for the purpose of affirming and learning about the Croatian cultural tradition.”[32] In addition to intensifying the sphere of external cultural cooperation, i.e.
		With the Croatian diaspora’s political agitation and their financial and material assistance to the newly created Croatian army[59] and communities and towns that were under attack, the community appeared more strongly united than ever.

	Croatian Catholic Union of USA and Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As many Croatian immigrants arrived in America in the mid-1800’s and shortly after at the turn of the century, the need to establish Croatian American fraternal organizations was recognized in order to protect the lives and provide insurance and other benefits for them.
		Thus, in 1894 Croatian Fraternal Union of America was organized in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the main concentration of the newly-arrived Croats settled and obtained employment in the mining and steel industries.
		With the influx of Croatian immigrants prior to WWI who arrived in the American Midwest, and with the development of the new social and political circumstances both in America and in Europe, a need arose to institute a sister fraternal organization.
