Father General in Great Britain – The pictures
Father
Arturo Sosa, the Superior General, visited the British Province for a few days
during Easter week. As mentioned earlier, the Province is celebrating its 400th
anniversary this year. The General was delighted to travel to the United
Kingdom for the first time in his life and visited Jesuit works and communities
in Liverpool, St Asaph (Wales), Birmingham, Oxford, and London. Reports of
these visits were featured on our website and social media channels. Today, the
British Province provides us with a pictorial summary of this brief tour.
