Building support for our apostolates

by JCAP | posted in: JCAP News | 0

On June 1 – 2, sixteen participants from all over Asia and the Pacific joined Mr. Charles (Chuck) Duffy, from the Roman Curia, in a Development Officers’ Workshop on the Ateneo de Manila Campus. This initiative, coming from Fr Peter Hans Kolvenbach, seeks to establish in every Jesuit Province and Region a development mechanism to support our various apostolates.

The resolutions from this group will be presented to the Major Superiors in their July meeting, and it is expected that a four-day training session will follow in late February 2010.

The Visit of Fr General in Japan

by JCAP | posted in: JCAP News | 0

The major reason for the trip of Fr General to Japan from December 20 to January 2 was the celebration of the centennial of the Society’s return to the Land of the Rising Sun (1908-2008). The trip also offered Fr. Nicolás the opportunity to meet the Jesuits of the Province of Japan and to see many long-time friends. Fr. José M. de Vera, who accompanied Fr. General on his trip, gave some of his insights.

by JCAP | posted in: Beyond JCAP, JCAP News | 0

Fr Daniel Huang, Philippine Provincial, was appointed as one of General Counselors of Father General, and Regional Assistant for East Asia and Oceania. Fr. General gave him up to about a year to prepare for this new assignment. After the General Congregation, Fr Huang will go home, to tie up loose ends, but mostly, to set in motion the search process for a new Provincial. During this period, he may attend some meetings in Rome.

OUR NEW GENERAL: Adolfo Nicolas, S.J.

by JCAP | posted in: Beyond JCAP | 0

The day after the election of Fr. Adolfo Nicolas as Superior General of the Society of Jesus, many of us here in Rome find ourselves deeply grateful for the guidance of the Spirit. We believe in faith that it was the Spirit who led us to choose Fr. Nico–as we fondly call him in our part of the world–as the 29^th successor to St. Ignatius. This past week, the newspapers in Italy had come out with lists of possible generabili. It is surely significant that Fr. Nicolas was never mentioned!
