On Saturday May 5, at St. Eugene's Basilica in Rome, 35 Opus Dei faithful received priestly ordination by the hands of Prelate Msgr. Javier Echevarría.

A majority of the new priests finished their studies at our University or in the University of Navarre's Ecclesiastical schools .

Three of the newly ordained--Kazimierz Ginter (Poland), Giovanni Zaccaria (Italy) and Fernando López Arias (Spain)--currently attend the Institute of Liturgy.

Concluding his homily, which spoke of how "God is bigger than our hearts,"  Msgr. Echevarría invited all present to pray "with gratitude and affection" for the Pope, the Bishops, all priests and deacons, and for candidates to the priesthood around the world. In example, he offered the prayer of St. Josemaría: "Pray for the priests of today, and for those who are to come, that they may really love their fellow men, every day more and without distinction, and that they may know also how to make themselves loved by them."

On Friday, May 18 (11:35, Álvaro del Portillo Hall) the School of Theology will hold its XXII Closing Ceremony for the Baccalaureate Cycle. As in past years, students will receive both a certificate and a commemorative photograph.

Dear Professors, Employees, and Students,

Fully aware that beginning on Monday, May 14, the presence of both police and forensic agents on our facilities--including the massive presence of cameras and photographers, and the deployment of police officers guarding the entrance--has created many inconveniences in the academic environment, we would like to offer an explanation to clarify and contextualize the situation.  (continues...)

On Wednesday May 9, the day seminar "Windows Open on Mystery: The Thought of Jean Daniélou" took place. It was organized in collaboration with the "Fraternità San Carlo."

To delve more deeply into the Second Vatican Council's teachings according to the "hermeneutics of reform," called for by Benedict XVI and place them in service of the New Evangelization: this is the objective, in view of the Year of Faith beginning in October, which the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross' upcoming International Conference will seek to accomplish. Organized by the School of Theology, the Conference is scheduled for May 3 to 4 and will consider the "Second Vatican Council: The Reform's Enduring Value for the New Evangelization."

From April 26 to 27, the Conference held by the School of Canon Law on the theme "Discretion of Judgment and Capacity to Assume: The Formulation of Canon 1095." took place.

Registration has begun for summer courses in Latin, Greek and Hebrew offered by the Department of Languages.
