Ministry


Folks have asked what will you be doing in Zambia? In discussing the sabbatical, Jim McGloin, SJ, the socius and former Gonzaga classmate, suggested a number of things. I will be saying Mass in the parish, helping direct the Province retreat in December, and helping in the planning process for an Ignatian spirituality center.
The picture is of St. Ignatius church where I will be living. In addition to the pastor and assistant pastor there are five other Jesuits listed in the catalog. The Provincial lives in this community as does the Formation Assistant. Others include chaplains and the chair of the philosophy department at the University of Zambia. The church is located near the center of Lusaka. I visited the church with Janet Quillian when we were visiting SU students last February.
