End of the Academic Year
- Published in Formation
The traditional grateful party to end the academic year was held this past June 18 at the International College ‘San Lorenzo da Brindisi.’ A year of lectures, of cultural and spiritual growth, always in that fruitful tension between ‘wisdom’ and real life. Holy Mass with the General Minister presiding was celebrated at 6:30 p.m. and there followed the convivial moments of the supper on the piazza of the Collegio, where delectable foods were shared in the company of many friars, friends, and supporters. Štefan Kožuh, General Vicar and Delegate of the General Minister for the Collegio, was also present along with various friars of the General Curia. Among the many guests present there was also Mrs. Maria Manuela Lucas, Ambassador of Mozambique in Italy.
The community of the International College is currently composed of 135 friars: 19 friars of the stable community, 87 students, 21 friars studying Italian, and 7 friars of the Historical Institute.
