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.
