FOREWORD It is with great joy and with my thanks to the author, that I present you with this HANDBOOK OF THE HISTORY OF THE PIOUS SCHOOLS, written by Fr. Antonio Lezáun, from the Province of Emaús, who is currently Fr. Vice-Provincial of Chile. This publication is greatly needed by our Order, not only for the formation of our youngsters and the lay people who share our mission or our charism. All religious of the Order need to know our history a little better, to understand the path that we, as a religious Order have trod through the centuries, and our efforts to consolidate the work of Saint Joseph Calasanz over all this time, including our successes and our mistakes. We must learn from our history, and this handbook will help us on our path forward. In the past few months I have heard of the need of our Piarist trainers for a book about our history. The same desire has been communicated by those religious and lay people whose responsibility it is to train Piarist laity. This is why I asked Fr. Antonio Lezáun to complete the study notes he had in hand so that they could be published by the Order, for the benefi t of all. I think that knowledge of our history as an Order can help us in the task of revitalization which we are undertaking. A study of this book will certainly strengthen our sense of belonging to and our knowledge of the path followed by the Order, faithful to the Gospels and to Calasanz. Therefore I most strongly recommend your reading this book, and thank Fr. Antonio Lezáun for the work he has done for the benefi t of the Pious Schools. He has conceived it as an approach to our history, and it is written as a summary. We have also tried to orientate the text for teaching purposes so that we may all know and appreciate what and who 9 The history of the Order of the Pious Schools (A handbook) we are through our collective experience, and I believe Fr. Lezáun has responded to our request in a most useful way. Thank you! Pedro Aguado Rome, 1st December 2010 10 INTRODUCTION We often turn to the founding sources of our charism, and we must continue to do so, so that our establishments and our works continue with St. Joseph Calasanz’s vocational stimulation and should not deviate from the mission with which we have been entrusted by the Church. But also the history of our Institute, by which I mean the application and development of the Piarist vocation, which Piarists themselves have undertaken over the centuries, has something to teach us about our charism. As Vatican Council II (PC 2b) states: “Healthy traditions” also constitute the “patrimony of the Institute”, along with “the spirit and the aims of the founders”. Thus, it is not only curiosity, even if worthy in itself, that justifi es the study of our past and the inheritance of our ancestors. There is also a theological-spiritual reason which leads us to that history and its study. Over the last three and a half centuries, the charism of Calasanz has shown diverse potential for adapting itself “to the changing conditions of the times (PC, 2)”. This adaptation must take place every day, for our charism is a living essence and it will not cease to be so for us unless humanity itself no longer exists. Therefore, I invite all those who are attracted by the educational charism of Saint Joseph Calasanz to get to know not only the mind and thought of the founder, but also the Works by which Piarists have, through history, contributed to keeping the inspiration which Calasanz received, alive and fl ourishing. As this changed and adapted in time, there is no doubt that we are able to see the work of the Holy Spirit. It remains our task to discern between those “real adaptations” and “healthy traditions” on the one hand, and those which are not on the other, because we too have received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Even if ours is not one of the major Orders, the history of an Order like ours must be presented as long and complex. Any study of it requires the work of various historians and lengthy research. 11 The history of the Order of the Pious Schools (A handbook) My

  • Patrocinium of Calasanz

    Patrocinium of Calasanz

    The Patrocinium of St. Joseph Calasanz November 27 Although the Feast of St. Joseph Calasanz is celebrated on August 25, this date often falls at the end of summer vacation for most Piarist Schools. As a result, the religious order has designated November 27, which is the day he opened Europe’s first free public school, as the Patrocinium, a special day to honor and celebrate St. Joseph Calasanz. Joseph was born on September 11, 1557 in a tiny village called Peralta de la Sal. He was a Spanish priest from Aragon, Spain, who went to Rome at the end of the sixteenth century and started schools for poor and homeless children. He also started a religious congregation to serve these schools which is today spread throughout the world. He was well educated in philosophy, law and theology at the Spanish universities of Estadilla, Lerida, and Valencia. His family initially did not support his religious calling. His father wanted him to marry and to continue the family, but after recovering from an illness which brought him close to death, Calasanz was ordained as a priest on December 17, 1583. He subsequently became vicar general of Tremp. He later relinquished much of his inheritance and resigned his vicariate. For the next ten years, he held various posts as a secretary, administrator and theologian in the Diocese of Albarracín in Spain. In 1592, Joseph went to Rome, where he became a theologian in the service of Cardinal Marcoantonio Colonna and a tutor to his nephew. He worked alongside St. Camillus de Lellis during the plague, which hit Rome at the time.

CEU eTD Collection 2 Abstract The thesis investigates religious policy, church-state relationships and dissent in late Kádárist Hungary. Firstly, by pointing out the interconnectedness between the ideology of the Catholic grass-root Bokor-movement and the established religious political context of the 1970s and 1980s, the thesis argues that the Bokor can be considered as a religiously expressed form of political dissent. Secondly, the thesis analyzes the perspective of the party-state regarding the Bokor- movement, and argues that the applied mechanisms of repression served the political cause of keeping the unity of the Catholic Church intact under the authority of the Hungarian episcopacy.

    Riconvertire gli edifici storici. Il Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli1 Rosa Maria Giusto Università degli Studi di Firenze [email protected] RIASSUNTO: Il contributo affronta il tema del riuso del patrimonio architettonico pubblico attraverso due esperienze eloquenti tra loro in- timamente connesse riguardanti il Complesso monumentale di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli. Entrambe le strutture segnano, per mole e qualità del linguaggio adoperato, il tessuto urbano circostante costituendo esempi imponenti di quelle architetture dell’illuminismo pensate e progettate per assolvere a funzioni pubbliche e sociali. Le vicende evolutive del Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande presentano aspetti che possono indurci a guardare al caso romano come a un possibile modello di riferimento in tema di reusing di un edificio pubblico restituito nel tempo a una sua rinnovata funzione sociale e formativa, in grado di promuovere atti- vamente lo sviluppo del territorio urbano circostante. PAROLE CHIAVE: San Michele a Ripa Grande; Reale Albergo dei Poveri; Riconversione; Rigenerazione urbana; Edifici storici. Conversion of Historic Buildings. The Complex of San Michele a Ripa Grande in Rome and the Reale Albergo dei Poveri in Naples ABSTRACT: The paper is focused on the theme of the reuse of public architectural heritage through two eloquent experiences, intimately connected to each other, concerning the monumental Complex of San Michele a Ripa Grande in Rome and the Reale Albergo dei Poveri in Naples. Both structures, for their dimensions and architectural language, mark the surrounding urban fabric, forming powerful examples of the architecture of Enlightenment designed to fulfill public and social functions.
  • 325-San Pantaleo

    325-San Pantaleo

    (325/33) San Pantaleo San Pantaleo is a 17th century convent church located on the Piazza di San Pantaleo in the rione Parione. The church dedicated to St Pantaleon, a 4th century martyr who is a patron saint of the medical profession because by tradition he was a physician of the emperor Galerius, , martyred under Diocletian in Nicomedia in 305. His original name was Panteleimon ("all-merciful one") in Greek, but this was corrupted in the late Latin. [1] History The church was built in the early Middle Ages, but it is uncertain when. It is listed among the branches of San Lorenzo in Damaso in a Bull of Urban III of 1186 under the name "Sancti Pantaleonis de Pretecarolis. The meaning of the name is uncertain. [1] It is described as being restored and re-consecrated under Pope Pope Honorius III in 1216, and granted as a collegiate church to a community of "English priests". In the later Middle Ages, the church and parish were in the charge of a chapter of secular priests. [1] [3] In 1621 Pope Paul V Borghese granted the church and the adjoining convent to Saint Joseph Calasanz (1557-1648) as a headquarters for his new religious congregation, the Poor Clerks Regular of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools, better known as the Scolopi or Piarists. They remain in possession, and the convent is their congregational headquarters. He founded the first free public schools in Europe in 1567, called the Pious Schools. [1] [3] (325/33) However the general appearance of the building remained unchanged until 1680 when the church was rebuilt by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio de Rossi to the patronage of Cardinal Gaspare Carpegna, protector of the Order.
