Pontifical Collegium Nepomucenum
The Papal Collegium Nepomucenum ( Latin : Pontificum Collegium Nepomucenum , Italian: Pontificio Collegio Nepomuceno a Roma , English: Pontifical College Nepomucenum at Rome ; Czech: Papežská kolej Nepomucenum v Římě ) is a papal college in Rome .
history
The forerunner of the Nepomucenum, the Czech College in Rome, was the Bohemian College (Collegium Bohemicum) founded on November 4, 1884 as an offshoot of the Collegio Teutonico di Santa Maria dell'Anima . The Moravians initially studied at the Pontificium Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum de Urbe . In 1890 the papal recognition by Pope Leo XIII took place. The building in Via Concordia was occupied on April 23, 1929, and at the same time it was renamed “Collegium Nepomucenum” as a foundation of the Bohemian nobility of the Schwarzenberg and Fürstenberg houses . It is named after the Bohemian priest and martyr Johannes Nepomuk , who was canonized in 1729 . Until 1938, German-Bohemian and German-Moravian candidates for priesthood from the dioceses of Bohemia and Moravia also studied at this training center in Rome. Pope John Paul II was a guest of the 100th anniversary celebration in 1984. Since the end of Czechoslovakia in 1992, the college has been attended exclusively by Czechs ; the Slovak Bishops' Conference founded the Pontifical Slovak Collegium Cyril and Methodius (Pontificio Collegio Slovacco dei Santi Cirillo e Metodioc).
The Czech Bishops' Conference is the sponsor of the Collegium Nepomucenum .
