A NEW MOMENT IS UPON US

Dear Friends, Summer 2018 In May, I met with Superior General Father Arturo Sosa, SJ, in Montreal along with my fellow provincials of Canada and the U.S. for our spring Jesuit Conference meeting. It was a very inspiring FR. SCOTT SANTAROSA, SJ time and it was also wonderful just to have him in our presence. Provincial He is very easy to be around, and he is joyful. His joy in this role FR. MICHAEL BAYARD, SJ is, in my mind, a true mark of the Spirit. It is a confirmation of our election of him at General Congregation 36. Socius SIOBHÁN LAWLOR Yet, don’t let the smile fool you! Father Sosa is a man of vision, not afraid to articulate Director of Advancement that clearly. In our time with him, he shared some of that vision for us in the Conference and the worldwide Society. It is clear in his mind that “what” we do is KIMBERLY RANDLES perhaps less the question at hand than the “how” we do it. For him, it is imperative Senior Philanthropy Officer that we engage in various levels of collaboration, that we work more wholeheartedly in networks, and that we truly engage in discernment in common. These are the BARBARA GUNNING common expressions he hopes to see in my reports to him about the goings-on of the Senior Philanthropy Officer Jesuits West Province.

FRANCINE BROWN I believe we are at a new moment. Father Sosa is an important part of our history. Philanthropy Officer We trust that the Spirit is calling us and directing us through him. This is our faith, and FR. SAMUEL BELLINO, SJ the jubilarians whose reflections you will read in this issue believe that — God speaks and directs us through our structures and through our superiors. We tip our hats to Legacy Planning these good men who have lived so true to our ways of proceeding, trusting that God FR. JOHN MOSSI, SJ has spoken to them through our structures and superiors. Benefactor Relations Another exciting sign of this new moment is the story of Brighten Stevens (see page LORINA HERBST 6), a fifth grader at St. Francis Xavier School in Phoenix. When her birthday arrived, and Graphic Designer she was given some gifts of money and asked how she wanted to spend it, she said she wanted to give to Jesuits West. What? When I heard this, I was surprised and in disbelief. For Brighten, she felt something at the Mass we celebrated last August in the Brophy College Preparatory gymnasium in Phoenix — brimming over with P.O. Box 86010 Portland, OR 97286-0010 students from her school and Brophy, with parishioners and members of the Kino www.jesuitswest.org Border Initiative. I believe it was the Spirit who was palpably present with us that day, letting us know that this project is not ours but really God’s.

10 A NOTE FROM OUR ADVANCEMENT DIRECTOR

In Support of the “Mothership”

A common question we hear is, What’s a Province? The Province is the mothership that enables each Jesuit work within the Jesuits West Province to exist and serve. The Province alone is responsible for the education and training of Jesuits and for the safe and compassionate care when age and/or infirmity keep our senior Jesuits from active ministry. Every Jesuit you encounter at any ministry — men who have had a tremendous impact on so many people — was formed by the Province, was missioned to his works by the Province, and will be cared for by the Province. The Province functions as important invisible bookends. When candidates begin Formation as Novices, they contribute to many of our works. This year, 18 Novices impacted lives through their service at Loyola High (Los Angeles), Bellarmine College Preparatory (San Jose), Bellarmine Prep (Tacoma), Santa Clara University, Most Holy Trinity Parish (San Jose), Gonzaga University, and other ministries across our 10-state territory. At the other end of the spectrum, the Province provides compassionate and quality health care for our senior Jesuits who have dedicated their lives in the service of others. With healthcare costs continuing to soar, providing quality care remains a challenge. We continue to have receptions welcoming the new Provincial, Fr. Scott Santarosa, SJ, to communities throughout the West Coast. At these gatherings, Fr. Scott is repeatedly reminding donors that when they give to our works, such as to our high schools and universities, those gifts remain with the works. Supporting the Province is the only way to directly support the Jesuits and to ensure the future of the Society of Jesus. In this newsletter we are celebrating some of our Jubilarians. We celebrate their calling, their lifetime of service and of education. That calling continues today. Four Jesuits were Ordained on June 9th, two will take their Final Vows in Seattle on June 30th, and 10 Novices will take their First Vows on August 11th at Santa Clara Mission Church. Interest in vocations is strong, and the process to enter the Jesuits remains rigorous. For each of our Jubilarians and each of our men in Formation, their contributions are individual and personal, but together their work is significant. Through more than 100 works in ministries in the 10 most western states, we equally serve those in faith TOP - Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, Los Gatos: Charmaine and and those in need. At the center of it all is the Province, our Dan Warmenhoven with former California Provincial Fr. Mike work is ongoing. Together, we are a Force for Good. Weiler, SJ.
