What is Apostolic Planning?
Discovering anew the Call of Christ for our Province!
The USA East Province has launched a comprehensive apostolic planning process. The goal is to assist the Provincial and Province staff in deploying human, physical and financial resources for the greater praise and service of God and to more fully live out the four Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Global Society of Jesus. Based on thoughtful analysis of our social, cultural, and religious context and relying on demographic and financial studies, Jesuits and lay colleagues will engage together in communal discernment in a spirit of availability, humility, and freedom.
How will we create our apostolic plan?
Embarking on a spiritual journey of communal discernment!
In the wake of the creation of the USA East Province in 2020, we seek the internal freedom to look anew at our remarkable history and strong institutional commitments. We strive to be detached enough from our own preferences so that we might better respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Through this form of prayerful communal discernment, we will discern the movements of spirit in order to seek and find the will of God for our shared apostolic future.
