Inside the Congregation: Europe and South Asia
The delegates to the 71st Congregation of Procurators were elected by their brother Jesuits to represent their Province at the table of the worldwide Society of Jesus. They spent months visiting the individual communities and ministries of their Province so that they could bring as complete a picture of life, prayer and mission in their part of the world. We pulled one representative from each of six Conferences and asked them for their thoughts about representing their brothers at CP71.
Jesuit Conference of South Asia - JCSA
Fr. J. Lourdu Xavier represents the Dumka-Raiganj Province (DUM). He is an assistant professor at the RVS College of Engineering and Technology in India.
Jesuit Conference of European Provincials - JCEP
Fr. Thierry Anne represents the French Speaking European Province (EOF). He is a former master of novices and now the director of “Maison Magis”, Paris for the youth and their spiritual, professional and social growth.
