Pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal

From Fr. Carl Chudy, sx: “On Sunday, September 3rd, 22 of us are leaving for Fatima, Portugal, to one of the most sacred spaces in our Catholic tradition. As we go, we bring the prayers of all our Xaverian Missionary family and friends. You are with us in spirit.”

Bidding a Fond Farewell

After 13 years of faithful and loving service, our cook, Tara, is moving on. Thank you and Godspeed!

Our friends at Temple Beth Torah in Holliston are preparing for the High Holy Days that Jews all over the world immerse themselves in. Let's pray for them that these days will be a time of blessing and happiness

Affirming that all religions are valid paths does not imply that every religion is a unified single path. No religion is monolithic, that is, in no religion does everyone think alike or do things in the same way. Over the course of centuries, most of the world’s religions have developed varied ways of thinking within their own traditions, hence the presence of many sects, denominations, and theologies; hence robust debates and disagreements within every religious tradition. Every world religion is better imagined as a network of crisscrossing pathways that are distinct but never stray too far from one another—and may look like a single highway from 30,000 feet high.

God Continues to Call: Our Students in Mexico

With great joy and gratitude, we share with you the great gift of the vocation that God continues to carry out for the mission. During this summer we carried out our pre-seminars in Arandas Jalisco and San Juan del Río Querétaro. In both events, we had abundant participation, and with great hope, we launched the networks to awaken in the young people the sensitivity and the ability to perceive the needs of others, so that they can consider the project of being collaborators of the Kingdom of God.
