Celebration of 50th Year of “Persons for Others” (Nov 9th)
Pedro Arrupe SJ
Welcome to the dedicated page for our Global Discernment Circles for “Persons for Others”. On Nov 9th we will host a Global Online Event to Celebrate the 50th year of Pedro Arrupe’s “Persons for Others”.
It is 50 years ago that Pedro Arrupe, the then Superior General of the Society of Jesus, gave his seminal address “Men and Women for Others” at the 10th International Congress of Jesuit Alumni of Europe which took place in 1973, from July 29th to August 1st, in Valencia, Spain.
This speech was pivotal, as it initiated the process of reflection and self-evaluation that led to the renewal of Jesuit education globally.
Celebrate this important milestone by participating in this Global Online Event!
