Arrupe International Residence opened the academic year 2010-2011 on a high note, as usual. Members, both old and new, trudged in one by one towards the end of May: there were the old members returning home, from summer pastoral exposure programs abroad, from home visits; there were new comers – novices from in East Timor and Myanmar joining the Juniorate program; a Junior from Sri Lanka region coming for studies in Philosophy; others for theological studies having completed regency; and new staff members. By the beginning of June, we were a full-house.

The First Ten Years of EAPI

Fr Pepe Calle (CHN) gave this talk at EAPI’s 42nd alumni homecoming last October 15.

Remembering some highlights of the First ten Years of EAPI

I feel very grateful to Fr. Jeyaraj and the members of the Staff for giving me this opportunity to be with you today. The last time I gave a lecture here was 20 years ago.

I am here today to REMEMBER the PAST.
