    Memorial meeting at the busts of the founders of CU

    On July 1, 2025, a memorial meeting was held at the busts of the founders of KU. Approximately 50 spectators attended the memorial meeting.

    The event was moderated and the spectators were welcomed by Martin Taraj, Vice-Rector of CU. This was followed by a speech by Rector Jaroslav Demko, in which he returned to the moments thanks to which the university was founded. The blessing was provided by Fr. Milan Toman, SVD.

    The Catholic University commemorates its founding every year at the busts of bishops Mons. František Tondra and Mons. Rudolf Baláž. The monument to the founders was provided by academic sculptor Štefan Hudzík, for whom it was the last work of art. It was unveiled in 2017.

    Despite the fact that KU celebrated its 25th anniversary on July 1, the biggest celebrations associated with the jubilee are planned for the opening of the 2025/2026 academic year, which will take place on September 25, 2025.
