November 13 - Blesseds Kamen, Pavel, and Josaphat

The feast of our three Bulgarian Marytrs is an opportunity for us to pause each year to reflect on their legacy.

To remember means to render present among us these brothers whom the Church, as a result of their beatification, considers to be a gift for all Christians.

Kamen Vitchev, Pavel Djidjov, and Josaphat Chichkov compel us to broaden our horizons. To maintain among us the memory of our three martyrs helps us to understand ourselves better and the martyrdom (that is to say, the witness) to which the Lord is calling each of us today.

Almost 70 years ago, our three brothers were imprisoned. First, Kamen in December 1951, and then Josaphat and Pavel on July 4, 1952. During their imprisonment they were mercilessly beaten, tortured and interrogated and forced to live 15 to a cell built for 3 or 4….which meant that most of the time they could hardly find enough air to breathe adequately.

And then suddenly on September 29th they were subjected to a show-trial, a real legal mockery, well organized by the Communist authorities. The truly trumped-up charges were all fabricated, completely made up. In what did these accusations consist: of these three Bulgarian patriots who had dedicated their lives to the service of their people? Accused of being spies for the Vatican…..yes, of the Vatican, this all-powerful, menacing State of less than a square-mile in size. And accused of being capitalist agents plotting to overthrow the « legitimate » regime of the Bulgarian people. How ridiculous!!!

«It is not enough to teach. On must lift students up; education is a much more difficult task than simply teaching. » Fr. Emmanuel d’Alzon, Spiritual Writings

The Prince of Peace School Complex remains focused on its motto: « Discipline, Peace and Excellence ». This motto which goes hand in hand with Fr. d’Alzon’s ideal of education (cited above) is the rudder that guides our educational activity at the School Complex. This is what distinguishes us from other schools and is the source of our pride in this region of the country, where armed conflict has not spoken its last word. We accompany our students not just intellectually but also humanly, spiritually and psychologically. We aim to touch the whole person.

Education at Prince of Peace is an undertaking that cannot be limited to lessons given in the classroom. It reaches beyond the classroom to extra-curricular activities and even to the home. Teachers, parents, priests, brothers and sisters, we all see ourselves as partners in this work of education and together we believe that we will give the best of ourselves to assure the future of our children. We base this on the confidence and collaboration that exists between parents and students on the one hand and students and teachers on the other.
