Life
Juritsch was the son of Danube Swabia and came to Bruchsal at the age of 11. There he graduated from high school in 1949 and entered the Pallottines as a novice . Until his ordination in 1955 he studied philosophy and theology at the religious college in Vallendar , the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and the University of Freiburg (Switzerland) , where he became a member of the Catholic student union Carolingia-Friborg in the KV .
After receiving his doctorate in 1960, Juritsch became professor at the Philosophical College of Pallottines in Untermerzbach , and in 1972 he was elected Provincial of the southern German Pallottine Province in Friedberg near Augsburg. In 1983 he was elected general rector ( superior general ) of the Pallottines in Rome and re-elected in 1989.
