Petrik, SJ. 30/4 SEPTEMBER 1998 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces.

The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclu- sively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them.

Our future plans call for a dramatic expansion of the building’s east wing to develop larger classrooms and a new counseling suite. • Global education and cultural competence: Through our global Jesuit educational network, this summer students are participating in academic, service-learning and cultural immersion programs in Australia, China, Ecuador, Tennessee and Camden, NJ. Last year, students studied marine biology in Belize and classical languages in Rome. In the next two years, they will study at Jesuit high schools in Ireland, Uruguay, Rwanda and Tanzania.
