50th Anniversary of Fr Arrupe's 'Men and Women for Others' speech to Jesuit Alumni
In many ways, Fr Arrupe's 1973 speech to worldwide Jesuit Alumni changed the direction of Jesuit education, asking all Jesuit centres of learning to open themselves to working for social justice.
To mark this anniversary 'Educate Magis' is holding a series of global 'Circles of Conversation' which are an opportunity to reflect, in community, on the impact of Pedro Arrupe’s speech.
The Global Discernment Circles will take place online using 'Zoom', on November 9th, 2023. To find out more and to register, follow this link.

Pathways Toward Hope
A retreat in daily life at the Edinburgh Jesuit Centre
A Retreat in Daily Life (RDL) offers the chance to make some quiet prayerful space without leaving home or taking time away from work.
For the period of the retreat, you make a commitment to praying each day for whatever time you can manage and to meet weekly for conversation about your prayer and your life with a spiritual companion/prayer guide.
There is a welcoming gathering at the start, and a similar shared closing to end. All the prayer guides working on retreats in daily life have completed recognised training and are supervised.
If you are interested in this retreat in daily life please email [email protected] for an application pack.
