The work of the Jesuits in the service of faith and the promotion of justice is made possible by the generous support of friends and benefactors who believe in the value of what we do, whether it is running schools and parishes; advocating for disaster risk planning; or accompanying, serving and advocating for the rights of the poor and of migrants.
The Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific initiates and implements projects across the region. In addition, it supports projects within the smaller regions and missions.
The Adolfo Nicolás EAPI Endowment Fund
The East Asian Pastoral Institute is a service the Society of Jesus in Asia Pacific provides to the local churches. For more than 50 years, EAPI has provided priests, religious men and women and laity a unique experience of learning and formation in community through its programmes for renewal and aggiornamento in the spirit of Vatican II.
On August 4, 2018, the Adolfo Nicolás EAPI Endowment Fund was launched at a testimonial dinner to honour Fr Adolfo Nicolás, former Superior General of the Society of Jesus and EAPI director from 1978 to 1984. The fund will primarily be used to help EAPI provide scholarships for the participants of its residential programmes, many of whom are from poor countries or communities, or countries where the local churches are struggling. The fund will also be used to upgrade the facilities in order to ensure a conducive living and learning environment especially for the residential programme participants.
Donations can be made through the Philippine Jesuit Aid Association. Please make cheques payable to “Philippine Jesuit Aid Association” then specify in a separate note that the donation is for EAPI. If you are in the United States, donations can be made through the Philippine Jesuit Foundation. DONATE
Jesuit Formation Fund
The Society of Jesus has a long formation process to prepare priests and brothers for full-time ministry in diverse and changing environments. In addition to formal education, Jesuits are trained in the Spiritual Exercises and are increasingly provided with other short programmes to equip them with leadership, management and technical skills to enable them to turn their hand to whatever work is needed to serve the universal mission.

JCAP Initiatives
The Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific initiates and coordinates programmes and projects across our provinces and regions every year to better serve the faith and promote justice in Asia Pacific. These cover various apostolic sectors particularly the common priorities of migration, reconciliation with creation and youth, and vary in scope and purpose from skills development to networking for increased cooperation, and from gap analysis to advocacy.
