In New Orleans, Fr. General Arturo Sosa visited the Harry Tompson Center, a sanctuary for the unhoused that provides everything from hot showers to legal aid. A powerful example of #UAP2 and the "continuum of care" in action. jesuits.global/2026/02/11/the…

A historic moment in Munich. Cardinal Marx has officially opened the beatification process for Fr. Alfred Delp, SJ, on the 81st anniversary of his execution by the Nazis. A member of the resistance, Delp proved that faith is stronger than fear. jesuiten.org/news/seligspre…

Happy Feast of St. John de Britto, S.J.! A pioneer of inculturation, John lived as an Indian ascetic to share the Gospel in the Madurai Mission. He died a martyr in 1693, proving that faith speaks every language. "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few." 🙏

Today's focus: Building protection from the ground up. The call is to move from paper policies to a living culture of safeguarding—a true test of credibility and trust. This journey demands honesty, reparation, and continuous formation. jesuits.global/2025/10/23/bui…

The Major Superiors tackled the core challenge of Jesuit leadership: balancing the Care for the Mission with the Care for the Person. The message is one of unity: Mission integrity demands healthy, supported Jesuits. It's one single dynamic at personal and institutional levels.

The Major Superiors affirmed that the Universal Apostolic Preferences have successfully unified the global mission, guiding apostolic planning while staying flexible for local needs. It's a "global, universal Society... working together jesuits.global/2025/10/20/maj…
