Dear Brother Alumnus,

As Rector, it is my privilege to invite you to the 130th Alumni Reunion of the Pontifical North

American College, scheduled for January 11-16, 2019 here in Rome.

The last time we hosted the Reunion in Rome, the College was celebrating 150 years of service

to the Catholic Church. Today, the core of our noble mission remains the same: forming priests for

Jesus Christ in the heart of His Church. The College is a close community of seminarians, student

priests, faculty priests, and a loyal group of lay staff (several of whom you may remember from your

days here!)

Our planning team has produced a schedule of events that includes time for fraternity, prayer,

and seeing sites new and old, while also leaving time for your own interests and plans. A summary of

these events can be found on the enclosed brochure, and in even more detail on our registration

website.

You are well aware of the fruits gained from time spent in the Eternal City. And of course,

being with your brother priests from home, and those here in Rome, will be a joyful occasion. But I am

also excited for you to see the many improvements to our two campuses. At the Casa Santa Maria, the

renovation of the residential floors is now fully complete. On the Hill, we of course have the New

Tower which we dedicated in 2015, but also a new Fitness Center, a new floor in the Refectory, a

remodeled Corso Auditorium, and a variety of other improvements.

Knowing how diverse our alumni community is (in terms of geography and personal

preferences), we have structured the Reunion events in Rome only. You can plan your own airfare, side

trips, etc. The Reunion Fee of $350 will cover the usual elements (Opening Mix, the Bum Rum, a

couple tours, Banquet, and bus transfers). We have negotiated a very good rate at the 4-star Hotel

Michelangelo (€130/night plus tax). Of course, you are welcome to source alternate lodging.

Our Executive Director, Mark Randall, and his staff in Washington, DC are ready to assist you

with your reservation and any questions. The 130th Reunion website will allow you to register and pay

via credit card or check: www.pnac.org/2019reunion.

I hope you will consider joining us for a great week in Rome. I look forward to welcoming you

and offering the outstanding hospitality for which the College is known. Vergine Immacolata,

aiutateci!

In Christ,

Very Rev. Peter Harman ‘99

Rector
