A Coffee and a Conversation with Father General
During his recent visit to Colombia, Father General shared a cup of coffee and engaged in a conversation about several issues – both personal and otherwise. He also shared his vision for Colombia, its mission, and its apostolates.
In this edition of Un café con... (A coffee with...) we invite you to listen to Fr Arturo Sosa as he discusses his love for coffee, arepas and his personal hobbies.
Un café con is a monthly initiative of the Colombian Province where Jesuits, collaborators, and friends of the Society of Jesus speak about their hopes, experiences, and commitments.
