He was wondering if members of the St. Bernard's congregation would be willing to volunteer their time to knocking on doors and conducting this survey in the coming weeks, as he would need volunteer assistance.

  • Becoming a Jesuit the Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation
    USA MIDWEST PROVINCE | FALL/WINTER 2020 Becoming a Jesuit The Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation Also in This Issue: n An Interview with Jesuit-Educated Comedian Bob Newhart n Campion High School’s Legacy Lives On n Ignatian Spirituality Project Takes Root in Dublin Dear Friends, As we near the end of 2020, I find myself reflecting on the ways that the world has changed over these last 12 months. The onset of the pandemic, followed by economic collapse, and the social and political upheaval of an election year—any of these would be remarkable on their own. Yet in all of this, we have adapted to find new ways of worshipping, socializing, working, sharing, and learning together. Yes, these adjustments were and continue to be stressful, but these are also times of grace, as we see faith and courage overcome desolation and fear. Perhaps that is why it’s no surprise that our schools across the Midwest rose swiftly to meet the challenges of COVID-19 (page 14), stepping up in the same way Jesuits have done since our founding. In Cincinnati, at Bellarmine Parish and Xavier University (page 20), the pandemic united the parish and university to work together in unique and innovative ways, as perhaps nothing else could have. At the same time, the Seminars in Ignatian Formation and Leadership (SIF) program (page 19) continued to offer training in the Spiritual Exercises to those serving at our Jesuit works. This vital program transitioned successfully to an online model, so that the ripple effect of this training continues.
