Volume 1, Issue 12

Wednesday, November 14^th marks the 100^th anniversary of the birth of Pedro Arrupe, SJ. Fr. Arrupe served as the 28^th Superior General (worldwide leader) of the Jesuits from 1965-1983. Arrupe is perhaps most known for leading the Jesuits to emphasize justice as an essential component of the gospel. In 1973 he gave a keynote address on educating for justice in which he coined the phrase we now know as "Men and Women for Others". A popular writing on "falling in love in a quite, absolute final way" is also attributed to Arrupe. In response to the worldwide refugee crisis Arrupe established the Jesuit Refugee Service in 1980 which continues today to accompany, serve and defend the rights of refugees and forcibly displaced people. In 1981 he suffered a debilitating stroke and was replaced as Superior General in 1983. For years he suffered, partially paralyzed and increasingly unable to communicate, until his death in 1991.

Mass to Remember the Jesuit Martyrs of Central America

Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador killed in 1989

Mass to Remember the Jesuit Martyrs of Central America
Thursday, November 15th

5:05 PM

St. Francis Chapel

On November 16, 1989 the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador and their two companions were dragged out of their home and violently killed. The men worked as professors and administrators at the University of Central America (UCA) and were assassinated for speaking out on behalf of the economically poor, the most vulnerable in society. Thousands of El Salvadoran people died along with them throughout the 10 year civil war that plagued the country.

Following the mass will be a brief commissioning service for those students traveling to Columbus, Georgia to protest the U.S. Army institute formerly known as the "U.S. Army School of the Americas".

Each year a group of John Carroll University students, faculty, and staff travel to Columbus, GA to represent JCU at the Ignatian Family Teach-In and protest calling for the close of the School of the Americas. To learn more about the group's trip click here.
