SearchCommunity Involvement
Our city is rich with people who we can learn much from while working with them in after-school programs, community gardens, health centers, shelters or home construction, peace and ecology efforts, immigration clinics, or community organizing! We partner with many organizations who need our energy and care.
“Our commitment to follow a poor Lord,” Ignatius wrote to the Jesuits in Padua, “quite naturally makes of friends of the poor.” The same love of Christ impels us to be near people and with them in their daily life, like the first Jesuits to take once again to the streets of our cities, in order to read there in the very heart of people’s existence the signs of the times, the signs of the Spirit’s action.” -Father General Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., Naples, Italy, 1997
