EAPI Auditorium to be renamed Nicolas Auditorium

Adolfo Nicolas’ election as the new Superior General of the Society of Jesus, it was unanimously agreed that the EAPI Auditorium will be renamed Nicolas Auditorium in his honor. Happily, it was pointed out that it is a rare and momentous event indeed that a former EAPI Director is elected as the Superior General! In related news, the EAPI Library is also being named effectively as Francis X. Clark Library.

Challenges for the Apostleship of Prayer

by | posted in: Parishes & Pastoral Work | 0

The eleven EAO delegates for the Apostleship of Prayer (AOP), with Fr Aloys Van Doren, Director General Delegate, met last October 9-14, 2006 in Seoul, South Korea.

Their sharing confirmed that the situation of the AOP of each province/region is different. It is active in some places but in others, there are difficulties in terms of manpower, collaboration with dioceses. Sometimes communication and collaboration with fellow Jesuits is not good. In some places, people do not know about the AOP.
