The song “You Are Mine” ushered the Jesuit Brothers in our conference into the atmosphere of a seven-day Ignatian retreat from 24-30 October. The Lord reminded us that we are His, and He “will come to us in the silence,” drawing us into a deeper brotherhood with Him.
A group of scholastics from Saint Joseph Jesuit Scholasticate in Vietnam were installed as extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist during a Mass on 15 August, the Solemnity of the Assumption. For the 30 men in their philosophy studies and the 17 in theology, this installation was a major step in their journey towards becoming priests.
Activities and events such as priesthood ordination, diaconate ordination, vows mass, etc. of the Province are updated here.
OUr implementation of the uaps
Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) are the fruit of a process of discernment lasting almost two years. All Jesuits were invited to take part and in addition our mission partners. It concluded with a confirmation from Pope Francis in a special meeting with Fr General Arturo Sosa. The Preferences give a horizon, a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus. They captured our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission. The new Preferences are four areas vital for our world today. The Society of Jesus will pay special attention to them in the next ten years. We invite you to learn more and take action with us! We want to make a Gospel difference.
