The Church of Saint Matthew (Croatian: Crkva svetog Mateja) in Tovarnik is a Roman Catholic church in eastern Croatia. The parish priest Ivan Burik was the only Roman Catholic priest who was killed during the Croatian War of Independence.[1] In the first half 2008 the Government of the Republic of Croatia provided 150,000 Croatian Kuna for completion of the reconstruction of the church.[2] The tower of the Church of Saint Matthew is 40 meters high.[3]
