Historic Visit By Pope John Paul II
The reemergence of the seminary as a place for young men to explore their interest in priesthood was acknowledged when Pope John Paul II visited Quigley South on October 5, 1979. The Pope had lunch with bishops in the school's gym, and an exclusive audience with students and faculty. With thousands of people waiting to see the Pope outside the school, John Paul II, along with the school's principal and John Cardinal Cody, climbed to the school's roof to see the crowd.
Pope John Paul II gave three speeches in all that day—one to the bishops of the United States, one to the sick, and one to the minor seminarians of both Quigley schools.
