Week Two: the election phase of the Congregation begins: four days of conversation, followed by the election.
This site is designed to help Jesuits, partners and friends of Jesuits to better understand the General Congregation of the Society of Jesus.
At the Congregation, a new Superior General will be elected and a number of topics regarding important aspects of the Society's mission and ministry will be discussed.
The Congregation began on January 7th in Rome and will continue in session until it is completed, possibly for several months.
The general information to the left will help in understanding what a Congregation is and how this one was prepared for. In the column to the right is our summary of the topics that will be discussed at the Congregation. Other topics can be introduced as well.
We invite discussion about G.C. 35, through the Sharing link. Please feel free to share your ideas about the topics or your questions about the Congregation.
Fr. David Schultenover, S.J., a delegate of the Wisconsin Province of the Society, has agreed to send periodic notes about his experiences at the Congregation.
We will post news about the election of the new General as well as the official public press releases about the Congregation.
We also plan to have links to the documents of the Congregation as soon as they are available, as well as commentary and discussion on them.
