Rome Russian College
Marks1 Silver Jubilee
ROME (NC) Among all the national colleges in
Rome, there is only one that accepts students of any and every
nationality. It is the Russian Pontifical College which was
founded in 1929 to prepare priests for the day when it will
again be possible to send missionaries to the Soviet Union.
Th is hope has still to be realiz
ed. In the meantime, however, the
Russian College—familarly known
as the Russicum has been train
ing priests in the Byzantine-Slav
Rite to work in Russian commun
ities in various parts of the world,
including the United States.
The origin and history of the
Russicum were recalled here when
celebrations were held to com
memorate the 25th anniversary of
the Apostolic Constitution, Quam
Curam. of Pope Pius XI under
which the college was founded
with St. Therese of the Infant Je
sus as its patroness.
It was disciosec| that 120 priests
have been trained at the Russi
cum since its foundation. Thirty
seven secular priests were ordain
ed at the college, and another 13
were ordained elsewhere after hav
ing been given a special formation
at the Russicum for the Russian
apostolate.1 Twenty of the gradu
ates belong to the Benedictines,
the Capuchins, the Conventuals,
the Marian -Clerks Regular, and
the Studites, a congregation of
monks of the Slav-Byzantine rite
founded in 1900. Another 50 were
scholastics of the Society of Je
sus who, though students of the
Roman scholasticate, received a
specific formation for the Russian
mission. They are knowm as ‘Tus
•ipeti.”
Intended at first only for cen
didates of Russian nationality,
the Russicum later opened its
doors also to young men of oth
er nationalities, because of a
lack of sufficient vocations
among the Russians. Students
comprise seminarians preparing
for the priesthood, or young
priests who wish to prepare
themselves for work among the
Russian people.
Prior to ordination, students
pass to the Byzantine-Slav rite.
During their training, the students
become completely Russianized,

since it is the cdnviction of the
Holy See that any attempt to make
Latin Catholics out of the Russians
is out of the question. The entire
liturgical life of the college is By
zantine. Courses include training
in the Russian language, literature
and history.
With entry into Russia itself still
only a remote hope, graduates of
the Russicum have been sent to or
ganize missions among Russians in
various parts of the world. Some
have gone to Manchuria, others to
Finland, Japan, Australia, Argen
tina, and other countries. Some
have worked in Paris. Geneva, Vi
enna. Los Angeles, and New York.
In New York, Father Andrew
Rogosh, a secular priest ordained
at the Russicum, is the Catholic
priest for Russians of the Oriental
Rite and has his own chapel beside
the Old Cathedral in lower Man
hattan.
