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.

Famous quotes containing the words historic, visit, pope and/or paul:
“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“You are my true and honorable wife,
As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
That visit my sad heart.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“‘Tis with our judgments as our watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“And is the price for your acceptance for me to conform? To be as you would want me to be?... You must accept me as I am. Do not question.... If my behavior seems different perhaps it is because it serves a higher purpose than to find acceptance in this dull and useless world.”
—Pat Fielder, and Paul Landres. Dracula (Francis Lederer)
