  • To the Members of the John Paul II Foundation: the Formation of the Young Is an Investment for the Future
    N. 161021a Friday 21.10.2016 To the members of the John Paul II Foundation: the formation of the young is an investment for the future This morning in the Consistory Hall Pope Francis received the members of the St. John Paul II Foundation, whose president is Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, and which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. The Foundation supports initiatives of an educational, cultural, religious and charitable character, inspired by St. John Paul II, whose liturgical memory is celebrated tomorrow, and is active in various countries especially in Eastern Europe, where it has enabled many students to complete their studies. The celebration of the anniversary allows the Foundation to evaluate the work that has been carried out so far, and at the same time to look to the future with new aims and objectives. The Pope therefore encouraged its members to continue their efforts in the promotion and support of younger generations, so that they may face life’s challenges, always inspired by an evangelical sensibility and the spirit of faith. “The formation of the young is an investment for the future: may the young never be robbed of their hope for a better tomorrow!”. “The Jubilee Year that is coming to an end encourages us to reflect and meditate on the greatness of God’s mercy in a time in which humanity, due to advances in various fields of technology and science, tends to consider itself to be self-sufficient, as if it were emancipated from any higher authority, believing that everything depends on itself alone. As Christians, however, we are aware that everything is a gift from God and that the true wealth is not money, which on the contrary can enslave, but rather God’s love, which sets us free”.

  • Students and Faculty Collaborate in Research and Scholarship Change
    SJUMagazine_Cover:Final 7/29/09 8:37 AM Page 1 Saint Joseph’s University, Summer 2007 Students and Faculty Collaborate Change Is Key to Success Nontraditional Students in Research and Scholarship for New Trustee and Entrepreneur Excel in University College IFC Presidents Letter:Spring 2007 7/29/09 8:39 AM Page 1 FROM THE PRESIDENT Upon the celebration of Pentecost each year, the Gospel tells us how Jesus’ disciples, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, went out into the world spreading God’s message to people in their own languages. With that miracle began an invitation for all Christians to reach out to those in the world who are in need. This mission is at the heart of the Jesuit tradition of being men and women with and for others. More and more since arriving at Saint Joseph’s, I have had the great pleasure to see this tradition manifest itself in growing opportunities for our faculty, staff, and students to serve others away from campus. From Camden, N.J., to Tohatchi, N.M., and Bolivia to Kenya, so many members of the University community are taking part in extraordinary service projects beyond the walls of Saint Joseph’s University. Earlier this summer, 10 members of Saint Joseph’s faculty and staff returned from a 12-day trip to France and Kenya. For six days, these travelers worked in Kitui Village, a community just outside of Nairobi, Kenya. The village is the location of a recently constructed orphanage that will eventually house 1,000 young orphans. The SJU team helped build a school, taught classes, and planted some 800 tree seedlings to reduce soil erosion.

Photo: Archives of the Municipal Museum in Wadowice The 100th anniversary of the birth of Karol Wojtyła in 2020 - Saint John Paul II, the greatest citizen of Wadowice, is a great opportunity to look closer at the places related to him, in Wadowice and the surrounding area. He spent the first 18 years of his life in his hometown, that is his childhood and youth. The world of Wadowice had had the greatest impact on him. As he himself recalled years later: ‚Always strongly connected with the town of my childhood and early youth, with a town that gave me a lot, so much. I have the impression that it was much more than Cracow could give. The breath of the town and the breath of the earth, a certain straightforwardness in thinking and an undoubted foundation of cultu- re.’ This publication is a kind of walkabout around places close to the heart of the Saint of Wadowice.
