Newsletters Collection home page

The Jesuit Historical Institute in Africa collects and preserves official newsletters from different Jesuit provinces and regions in Africa and Madagascar such as Shukran in East Africa, Nouvelles de l’ACE et Nouvelles de la PAO for Central and Western Africa respectively, Tubane for Rwanda-Burundi, etc. Those newsletters include news and stories of Jesuit and collaborators in the mission field. Initially directed at benefactors of the Society and family members of the Jesuits; newsletters remain an important tool to promote the work of the Society among Jesuits and to the outside world, and they help create networks of solidarity and support in mission.

• The members of General Congregation 36 explicitly asked the newly elected Superior General, Fr. Arturo Sosa, to review the apostolic preferences of the Society of Jesus. The General chose to involve a broad spectrum of people in this process, Jesuits as well as our partners in mission, lay and religious, all over the world. We used the method of Spiritual Conversation. All were invited to discern the needs of the world, the calls of the Spirit, and the ways for the Society of Jesus to serve better.
• [...]The Holy Father, after making his own discernment, officially gave to the Superior General and to the whole Society of Jesus, the Universal Apostolic Preferences for the period 2019 to 2029.
