Secretariats & Networks
Discernment, collaboration and networking offer three important perspectives on our contemporary way of proceeding.
Secretariats
Social Justice and Ecology
The Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat assists Father General in developing the apostolic mission of the Society in its dimension for promoting justice and reconciliation with creation. The Secretary for Social Justice and Ecology establishes collaboration between apostolic sectors, paying special attention to the social apostolate.
Service of Faith
The Secretariat for the Service of Faith advises Father General on the main issues that the Society must address in the Service of the Faith. It collaborates with the other Curia Secretariats to animate the service of faith in all apostolic sectors, while also supporting the work of Spirituality, with particular attention to the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises.
