Ignatian partnership is. . .


When Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., Superior-General of the Society of Jesus, visited University Heights earlier this month, he briefly addressed leaders of Jesuit institutions in northeast Ohio, who assembled in the auditorium of the Dolan Science Center, John Carroll University.

Quoting from the 1995 Jesuit General Congregation, Fr. Kolvenbach first said what partnership of the Society of Jesus with others is not:
Its decrees make it clear that “partnership with others in ministry” is not simply “a pragmatic strategy resulting from diminished Jesuit manpower.”
Visit JCU's website to read Fr. Kolvenbach's address about what Jesuit partnership with others is.
