Dear Global Companions :

As you take some time to reflect and celebrate in this season of hope, here is a small set of stories, messages and initiatives from our partners around the world with whom we collaborate in the global mission of Jesuit education.

Thank you for all that you have contributed to that mission in 2017!

Ite, inflammate omnia.
