Happy Birthday, Servant of God Fr Arrupe!

We honor the 28th Superior General, the visionary who defined the Jesuit mission as the Service of Faith & Promotion of Justice.

His enduring call: to be "men and women for others." His legacy lives on through JRS.

Happy Birthday, Father Arturo Sosa!

Today, the Society of Jesus offers prayers and gratitude for the life and leadership of our Superior General.

We thank him for his guidance in promoting the #UAPs & a mission of reconciliation & justice at the frontiers.

Ad Multos Annos!

Today, Nov 5, We honor the 53 Saints and 158 Blessed ones in the Society of Jesus.

The large number of martyrs (Saints & Blessed) shows that witness to Christ and service to the excluded always outweighed fear. We follow their courageous footsteps today!
