Focus

From February 6 to 10, 2012 there will be a week long seminar for seminary formers on "the Ministry of direction in Seminaries."

Is there a fitting model for seminaries in the third millennium? Is it more important to worry about "numbers," or rather to focus on the "quality" of candidates to priestly ministry? How is it possible to respond to the challenges posed by the New Evangelization, beginning with the formation of future priests?

These and other questions will be discussed in the course of this week-long seminar. Seminary rectors and spiritual directors will take part in the program, as well as other formers. Both speakers and participants come from diverse cultural contexts and religious sensibilities.

Rome, FEB 2, 2012--On Thursday February 2, Professor Alfonso Nieto passed away at the University Hospital of Navarre (Spain). An advocate for the birth of journalistic studies at the university level in Europe, Prof. Nieto was also a promoter of the first--and to this date, only--school of institutional communications in the Catholic Church.

The University community of the Holy Cross is worried and concerned by the recent arrest of Fr. Joseph WangHu, a former student of the School of Canon Law. He has been detained together with four fellow priests of the Diocese of Siayuan, located in the region of Inner Mongolia (China).
