Jesuits to Set Up Educational Institute in Timor Leste
After years of consultation and planning and with the return of Colégio de São José to the Diocese of Dili, the Society of Jesus has decided to establish an educational institute in Timor Leste.
Jesuit Education in Timor Leste
The Society of Jesus has administered Colégio de São José at the request of the Bishop of Dili since 1993. However, CSJ is and continues to be a school of the Diocese of Dili. Direction of CSJ will revert to the Dili Diocese at the end of 2011, but our work in education in Timor Leste will continue.
Fr Mark Raper SJ has issued a statement in Timor Leste regarding the Society’s position on Jesuit education in the country.
