Progress was on the cards last week when representatives from Jesuit universities and colleges gathered at Canisius in Sydney for the 2009 General Assembly of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in East Asia and Oceania (AJCU-EAO).

The assembly is held each year with the aim of trying to ‘better understand our shared educational mission, to dovetail our educational efforts, which often are very atomised, and to dovetail them more with the work of the Jesuit Conference of South East Asia and Oceania and the Society of Jesus’, said Fr Joel Tabora (PHI), Chairman of the AJCU-EAO . In addition, this year’s conference discussed its contribution to be made at next year’s World conference of Jesuit Presidents.
