Companions in a mission of justice and reconciliation

About us

JCAP Apostolic Plan 2021 – 2025

Our Desire

“Seeing all things new in Christ, we want to walk in a journey of conversion and synodality as we commit ourselves to the urgent call of poverty and reconciliation with creation in Asia Pacific.

We seek to collaborate especially with the youth, with the Church, with other faiths, and with those in civil society engaged in similar concerns. Ignatian Spirituality is the gift we share and the charism in which we desire to grow.”
