Russicum College Seen as Missionary Center PDF Print E-mail

The Pontifical Russicum College, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary, has always been a center of missionary and evangelizing action, according to the Benedict XVI's secretary of state.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone affirmed this Thursday in a meeting with professors and students of the Russicum at the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate all'Esquilino, reported Vatican Radio.

The cardinal first conveyed “the expression of the Holy Father Benedict XVI’s grateful sentiments toward the Society of Jesus and the many professors and coworkers who […] have contributed to making the Russicum a true ‘cenacle of spirituality and cultural enrichment’”

Cardinal Bertone's visit coincided with the anniversary celebrations marking the laying of the first stone of the college on Feb. 11, 1928, which Pope Pius XI placed under the protection of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

Benedict XVI, said the cardinal, “follows your academic, pastoral and doctrinal activities with paternal benevolence and knows well the precious link that the college -- although it does not have a large number of students from Russia -- forms between Rome, the heart of the Catholic world, and the tradition of Christian Russian.”
