"The new evangelization for the transmission of the faith.”

Rome from October, 3 to 7, 2012

The Synod on the New Evangelization will be held in Rome from 7 to 28 October 2012.
A workshop on certain themes of the Synod will be held in Rome from Wednesday, October 3^rd, 14.00 to Saturday, October 6^th, 13.00. Participants are invited to attend the opening Mass of the Synod with the Pope on Sunday, October 7th morning at St Peter Basilica.

The objectives of the workshop are to:
- Contribute to the reflection of the Synod of Bishops
- Express a voice of lay and professional people and a position of Catholic Associations
- Allow participants to discuss the issues of the synod and become a player in the public debate around these concerns, in Church and society. The Rome workshop is just a first step in a process. See Pax Romana website www.paxromanawien2012.org    

Participants will be members of international Catholic associations. We will ensure a significant representation of different continents and cultural areas of the world.

FESTUM SS. MICHAELIS, GABRIELIS ET RAPHAELIS, ARCHANGELORUM

Angelum pacis Míchael ad istam,

Christe, demítti rogitámus aulam,

cuncta quo crebro veniénte crescant

  próspera nobis.

Angelus fortis Gábriel, ut hostem

pellat antíquum, vólitet supérne,

sæpius templum cúpiens favéndo

  vísere nostrum.

Angelum nobis médicum salútis

mitte de cælis Ráphael, ut omnes

sanet ægrótos paritérque nostros

  dírigat actus.

Christe, sanctórum decus angelórum,

adsit illórum chorus usque nobis,

ut simul tandem Tríadi per ævum

  cármina demus. Amen.

Angelicum Alumnus transferred as new Bishop of Orange, CA (USA)

On Friday, September 21, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI announced the transfer of Angelicum alumnus Bishop Kevin William Vann (who is serving as the Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth, in Fort Worth, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex) to serve instead as the Bishop of the Diocese of Orange, in Orange, California (USA) because of the retirement of Bishop Emeritus Tod David Brown, 76 (under Canon 401.1 of the Latin-rite Code of Canon Law, which states that Bishops must offer a letter of resignation to the Pope for possible acceptance when they turn 75). There will be an installation at a later date at Vespers in Christ Cathedral.

Bishop Vann was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Joseph McNicholas on May 30, 1981. He then furthered his studies in canon law at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome, residing at the Pontifical North American College. It was at the Angelicum that in May 1985 he earned his J.C.D. (Doctor of Canon Law).

FESTUM S. MATTHÆI, APOSTOLI ET EVANGELISTÆ

Exsúltet cælum láudibus,

resúltet terra gáudiis:

Apostolórum glóriam

sacra canunt sollémnia.

Vos, sæcli iusti iúdices

et vera mundi lúmina,

votis precámur córdium,

audíte preces súpplicum.

Qui cælum verbo cláuditis

serásque eius sólvitis,

nos a peccátis ómnibus

sólvite iussu, quæsumus.

Quorum præcépto súbditur

salus et languor ómnium,

sanáte ægros móribus,

nos reddéntes virtútibus,

Ut, cum iudex advénerit

Christus in fine sæculi,

nos sempitérni gáudii

fáciat esse cómpotes.

Deo sint laudes glóriæ,

qui dat nos evangélicis

per vos doctrínis ínstrui

et prósequi cæléstia. Amen.

ORDINE DEGLI STUDI/STUDENT HANDBOOK 2012-2013

FESTUM IN EXALTATIONE SANCTÆ CRUCIS

Vexílla regis pródeunt,

fulget crucis mystérium,

quo carne carnis cónditor

suspénsus est patíbulo;

Quo, vulnerátus ínsuper

mucróne diro lánceæ,

ut nos laváret crímine,

manávit unda et sánguine.

Arbor decóra et fúlgida,

ornáta regis púrpura,

elécta digno stípite

tam sancta membra tángere!

Beáta, cuius brácchiis

sæcli pepéndit prétium;

statéra facta est córporis

prædam tulítque tártari.

Salve, ara, salve, víctima,

de passiónis glória,

qua Vita mortem pértulit

et morte vitam réddidit!

O crux, ave, spes única!

in hac triúmphi glória

piis adáuge grátiam

reísque dele crímina.

Te, fons salútis, Trínitas,

colláudet omnis spíritus;

quos per crucis mystérium

salvas, fove per sæcula. Amen.

Welcome Back! Bentornati!
