The Feast Day of the PUA (Pontifical University, Antonianum) and of the Grand Chancellor (the OFM Minister General) will be held on January 16th, 2017. A full program has been drawn up to mark the event. Prof. Cavalli will chair the day and will introduce various speakers — Profs. Burigana and Sgroi of the PUA; the Lutheran Archbishop of Uppsala, Antje Jackelén; and the PUA Rector, Prof. Mary Melone, who will welcome the participants. The celebrations will conclude with an afternoon performance of “Francis, dust of God”, by Riccardo Tordoni. [Admission is free. Email sviluppo@antonianum.eu] In speaking of this performance, the Apostolic Administrator of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, wrote — “It is not easy to talk about Francis to those who do not know him; it is even more difficult to talk about him to those who assume that they know him. In my judgement, Riccardo Tordoni has managed to do both.”
