In honor of the 150th Anniversary of the Pontifical North American College, the College commissioned a book that documents its longstanding history. From Pope Pius IX to Pope Benedict XVI, the book shows the events which have shaped the College into the distinguished institution that it is today. Entitled The Pontifical North American College: Celebrating 150 Years of Priestly Formation in the Eternal City, this commemorative book tells our story beginning with the establishment of the North American College in 1859. It continues to describe the trials and tribulations, the joys, challenges, and growth that we have encountered as an institution through periods such as World Wars I & II and building the campus on the Janiculum Hill.
Most importantly, it describes the cherished traditions that still live on at the College today. Through the inclusion of both historic and contemporary photographs, the anniversary book illustrates the noble mission of the College, showing the efforts to provide the very best spiritual and priestly formation to seminarians and priests. Furthermore, it shows the renewal of our facilities and vision for the future. This book is dedicated to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, in deep appreciation for his personal friendship with the College.
The book is currently available for $50.00 (plus shipping). Should you be interested in acquiring a copy of The Pontifical North American College: Celebrating 150 Years of Priestly Formation in the Eternal City, please contact:
