The Foundation for the Promotion of the Roman Institute of the Görres Society with an endowment of 350,000 is located at the Foundation Centre Fundraising of the Archdiocese of Cologne. In the offices there, the Institute floats at the top of the foundation cloud (foto). The Foundation Centre also advises on the planning of bequests for the benefit of the Roman Institute.
Dr Ignacio García has created the 400th post on the RIGG's Instagram channel "rigg1888". The channel does not so much inform about the Institute as - every two days - about new impressions and events from the Roman history, intellectual and art world. It combines this with many clever and often remote hints as well as practical tips.
Every year around Easter, the Roman Institute of the Görres Society publishes and sends out a detailed, illustrated annual report. However, the report is already available as a PDF and can be viewed and downloaded here:

Dr Adrian Bremenkamp studied art history, philosophy and classical archaeology in Berlin and Paris and completed his studies in 2011 with a thesis on the iconography and function of the Bethlehemite infanticide in 15th century Sienese altarpiece painting.

In 1976 the College of Campo Santo Teutonico celebrated its centenary. Rector Erwin Gatz, just in office, invited German-speaking church historians to a conference at the end of October, among them naturally a great many (if not all) Görresians, headed by Hubert Jedin. On 30 October, Pope Paul VI received the church historians in a private audience and presented the College with a valuable facsimile.
