On this day of the feast of St. Ignatius, we unite in the joy to all the Jesuits in the world to tell them our gratitude to know them. We think particularly of two of them: Jorge Mario Bergoglio, our pope, and Paolo Dall’Oglio, detained for two years in Syria.
May the Jesuit Alumni give back to the Society of Jesus what they received from it!
WUJA – the World Union of Jesuit Alumni – brings together former pupils or students of Jesuit schools and universities in the entire world in order to build international relationships between these people, to contribute to the mission of the Society of Jesus and to promote the universal dynamic of Jesuit education.
For these purposes, WUJA organizes world meetings of Alumni around themes related to the commitment in the world and the society in the perspective of Christian and humanistic values, as practiced and promoted by the Society of Jesus in its educational work.
With the broad network of member associations, WUJA also launches or supports initiatives for solidarity or development such as the Pedro Arrupe World Association, particularly in the field of education or in partnership with Jesuits.
WUJA wants to develop its Community to federate and mobilize as many Alumni as possible who are sensitive to this dimension of their education and interested in this global dynamic, by reaching them among others via the Alumni associations in the Jesuit schools and universities worldwide and the national structures or local groups of Jesuit Alumni.
