Bishop Andrej Saje attends 150th anniversary of Teutonik in Vatican

Bishop Andrej Saje attended the 150th anniversary celebrations of the Campo Santo Teutonico, a Papal German priestly institute located near St. Peter's Basilica. The jubilee event in the Vatican runs from October 2 to October 4, 2026.

Bishop Saje, who is the president of the Slovenian Bishops' Conference, previously lived at the institute for several years as a priest and student while studying canon law at the Gregoriana. He participated in a discussion regarding the future of the institute titled "The future has already begun. Wishes for the priestly college."

Priests Jožef Urbanič and Alojz Kačičnik also attended the celebrations from Slovenia. The institute, established in 1876, serves as a center for theological and scientific work, spiritual formation, and meetings for priests from various European countries and local churches.
