May 10th, University Feast in memory of Blessed Álvaro del Portillo, with the sculptor JAGO
On Friday, May 10th, 2024, the annual University Feast in memory of Blessed Álvaro del Portillo, our founder and first Grand Chancellor, will take place.
As a special guest, we will have the artist and sculptor JAGO, the pseudonym of Jacopo Cardillo, author of numerous exhibitions and installations. As stated on his website: "His artistic research is rooted in traditional techniques. JAGO uses marble as a noble material but addresses fundamental themes of the era he inhabits, establishing a direct relationship with the public through the use of video and social networks, to share the production process."
The schedule for the Feast will be as follows:
- 10:45 AM - Meeting-discussion with JAGO in the "Giovanni Paolo II" Auditorium
- 12:45 PM - Holy Mass at the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare presided over by the Rector, Luis Navarro. For those interested in concelebrating, please write to Chaplain don miedes [at] pusc.it (Manuel Miedes )and bring your alb and cincture. The Celebration will be animated by the Choir of the Roman College of the Holy Cross, but the invitation to participate (avv.gasparedelisi [at] gmail.com (for more information here)) is extended to all members of the University
