Biography
James Trobec was born in Log pri Polhovem Gradcu, Slovenia as Jakob Trobec.[1][2][3] He first studied theology in Ljubljana, and then emigrated to the United States in 1864, where he studied at the seminary at St. Vincent's Benedictine Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania (also known as Beatty).[4] He was ordained a priest on September 8, 1865 in St. Paul, Minnesota. On July 5, 1897, Pope Leo XIII appointed Trobec Bishop of the Saint Cloud Diocese and he was ordained a bishop on September 21, 1897; Bishop Trobec retired on April 15, 1915.[5] He died on December 14, 1921 in Brockway, Minnesota.[4][6][7]
Three of his nephews also became priests in Minnesota:[8] John Trobec (1875–1945)[9] and Joseph Trobec (1880–1968)[10] (both via his brother Blaž Trobec, 1846–1923),[11] and John Seliškar (1871–1932).[12]
The James Trobec Arts Center (Slovene: Kulturni dom Jakoba Trobca) in Polhov Gradec, Slovenia is named for him.
