Each of these men comes from a unique background and life experience, yet all responded to the call of the Holy Spirit and entered the Society of Jesus. After more than a decade of formation, their journey now leads them to the priesthood. Please remember them in your prayers as they prepare to begin their ministry as Jesuit priests, serving the Catholic Church and the people of God.
