Enthusiasts in Halle Belgium, Cardijn's home town, have created the Cardijn Wandeling - the Cardijn Walk, which follows the streets that Cardijn walked as a child, going past his family home.

Seventy years after it was first published by the British Catholic Truth Society, here is Cardijn's 1943 pamphlet on the Spirit of the Young Christian Workers.

Cardinal Jean Margeot was the founder of the Young Christian Workers movement in Mauritius.

GWO Addleshaw was an Anglican priest who attended a JOC training program with Cardijn in Belgium in 1938. He was also vice-principal at St Chad's College which is now part of the University of Durham.

Pleased to announce that we have a new section of this website dedicated to Cardijn Priests, i.e. those priests who followed Cardijn in their ministry. So far we have 14 priests listed - a very small sample of the thousands of Cardijn priests. However, it is enough to start. We hope to add more as time progresses. Our latest priest is Fr Tom Danaher MM, former Hong Kong YCW chaplain who died this week.

In this short interview extract, Cardijn recalls the influence of his father as well as the famous labour priest Fr Adolf Daens in his decision to become a priest.

When Pope John XXIII died on 3 June 1963, on the second day of Pentecost, Cardijn wrote this tribute to the New Pentecost Pope.

Cardijn had a clear vision of the kind of Vatican Secretariat that he wished to see developed after Vatican II.

Here is a series of photos taken at Cardijn's tomb in the Church of Our Lady at Laeken, his home parish from 1912.
