http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Prendergast
Terrence Thomas Prendergast (born 19 February 1944) is a Canadian Archbishop and Chancellor of
Saint Mary’s University, Halifax.
A native of Montreal, he entered the Jesuit novitiate in 1961 and was ordained a priest in 1972. He holds
a Bachelor of Arts degree from Fordham University, as well as the Master of Divinity and Doctor of
Theology degrees from Saint Mary’s University, Halifax through its earlier affiliation with Regis College,
Toronto School of Theology.
Prendergast was named as the new Archbishop of Ottawa by Pope Benedict XVI on 14 May 2007and
was installed on June 26, 2007.
Bishop Prendergast taught in Halifax at the Atlantic School of Theology from 1975-1981, then was Rector
of Toronto’s Regis College from 1981-87, and its Dean of Theology from 1991 – 1994. From 1992-94 he
assisted Bishop Frederick Henry (now of Calgary) in conducting an apostolic visitation of English-
language Canadian seminaries for the Vatican. At the time of his nomination as bishop in 1995, he was
Visiting Professor at the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem.
Named Titular Bishop of Slebte and Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto on February 22, 1995, Father
Prendergast was ordained a bishop in St. Michael’s Cathedral, Toronto, on April 25, 1995. In Toronto, his
duties as auxiliary included responsibility for the Western Pastoral Region (Etobicoke, part of North York
and the region of Peel-Dufferin), liaison with the theological faculties and planning the preparations for the
Great Jubilee.
After serving on the Canadian Bishops’ Commission for Relations with Associations of Clergy,
Consecrated Life and Laity, Bishop Prendergast is now a member of the CCCB Theology Commission
and co-chair of the national Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue. Aside from other pastoral involvements,
Bishop Prendergast is a teacher, writer and retreat giver. For several years he has written a weekly
Scripture column in the Catholic Register; he has been a writer or editor for several journals, and lectured

Archbishop Prendergast has a sister and three brothers, and is devoted to his many nieces and nephews,
as well as to his Jesuit religious family. His hobbies include squash, cycling, skating, foreign films and
Italian cooking. He was installed as Archbishop of Halifax on September 14, 1998 -the first Jesuit

Three New Japanese Jesuit Priests
Monday, September 22, 2008
http://goodjesuitbadjesuit.blogspot.com/20…it-priests.html
There was an ordination ceremony this afternoon (20080920) at St. Ignatius Parish Church, next to
Sophia University. Japan has only about half a million Catholics in a population of about 125 million; so it
is extraordinary even if simply one Jesuit receives ordination per year. Miraculously, this year there were
three Jesuits: a Japanese, an Indian, and an Indonesian.
The presiding bishop was Msgr Peter Okada Takeo of Tokyo. An unassuming, ascetic-looking bishop, he
conducted the ceremnony with the required solemnity, as the choir of St. Ignatius Parish bathed the
nearly 1,000 attendees in soothing music. About 50 priests concelebrated, including Fr. Sumita, the Jesuit
Provincial of Japan; Fr. Karumathil, the Jesuit Provincial of Kerala; and several rectors, diocesan and
religious priests of different orders. The gospel passage was Mk 16/14ff, calling on listeners to preach the
gospel and baptize. The homily was surprisingly short, just about ten minutes, in which the bishop
recalled the 188 Japanese martyrs who will be beatified soon and exhorted the newly ordained to live up
to their calling.
Although the mass was at 14:00 and a wayward typhoon was threatening, the Church was full. As is
common in Japan, but perhaps unthinkable in India and Christian countries, there were not only Cathoics
but also non-Catholics at the ceremony. Non-Catholics in Japan can marry in Catholic Churches, and
they eagerly attend Christmas masses, sometimes even waiting for an hour or two! In Japan, non-
Catholics are allowed to join the procession of communicants and approach the altar, though they are told
not to extend their palm to receive the host but to bow their head and receive the priest’s blessings. So
when his or her turn comes, a non-Catholic bows reverentially and the priest extends his hand and
blesses the person, sometimes uttering words of encouragement.

The United States is divided into 10 Provinces called the U.S Assistancy my friend. This
Assistancy is controlled by the Regional Assistant and his President of the Jesuit Conference of
the United States based in Washington D.C. These Provinces contain whatever states within their
borders and are governed by the Provincials. So right now we have Regional Assistant Soldier,
James E. Grummer, S.J controlling Thomas H Smolich, S.J controlling the U.S Assistancy.
Smolich is the most powerful Jesuit soldier in the United States as James E. Grummer resides in
Rome. Now study the roots of Washington D.C and understand why this is the true headquarters
of the Society of Jesus. Note how Georgetown University, is the most powerful ‘military fortress’
of the land training leaders such as William Clinton and Kristine Marcy (Senior Executive
Service/NAPA).
Washington D.C comes from land belonging to Roman Catholics, Daniel Carroll & Francis Pope.
This land was once known as ‘Rome’ back in old 1663 property records, all part of Virginia and
Maryland. The same Jesuit trained, Roman Catholic, Daniel Carroll who signed the Declaration of
Independence! The same Daniel Carroll who’s brother Roman Catholic, John Carroll founded the
fortress known as Georgetown University!

UDM President to Assume National Jesuit Position
Provided 10 Years of University Leadership, Service
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/udm-president-to-assume-national-jesuit-position-
83563807.html
DETROIT, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ –University of Detroit Mercy President Gerard L.
Stockhausen, S.J., Ph.D., will assume the position of Executive Assistant to the President of the Jesuit
Conference and Director of Planning for the Jesuit Conference in Washington, D.C., effective this
summer. The Jesuit Conference serves as the national organization of the 10 Jesuit provinces in the
United States. In this new role, Stockhausen will serve as chief of staff, advising and working closely with
the President of the Jesuit Conference and his staff to lead, direct, and coordinate a series of planning
projects that will implement the apostolic choices made by the national and international Society of Jesus
over the last few years.
“Father Stockhausen has a proven track record in creating and implementing a dynamic vision during his
10 years at the University of Detroit Mercy,” said Thomas Krettek, S.J., Provincial Superior of the
Wisconsin Province. “In calling him to this new ministry on behalf of the Society of Jesus, I am confident
that he will apply these same talents in helping the 10 Jesuit provinces achieve their strategic plan for a
more effective apostolic service.”
Stockhausen has served as UDM president since July 2004. Previously, he was vice president for
Academic Affairs and Provost at UDM from 2000-2004.
“During his tenure at UDM, Father Stockhausen led the University with a laser focus on mission, ministry,
and growth,” said Board of Trustees Vice Chair Rosita Schiller, RSM. “His commitment to the educational
traditions of the founding sponsors (Sisters of Mercy and Jesuits), academic excellence, service, and the
City of Detroit has garnered strong support among students, faculty and staff, alumni, and the business
community. We will especially miss his unique ability to fuse his priestly ministry with academic
administration.”
UDM experienced increases in both enrollment and academic stature during Stockhausen’s 10-year
tenure. The University realized record enrollments in the School of Architecture, School of Dentistry,
College of Health Professions and Nursing, and in the Sciences. In addition, the School of Law enrollment
more than doubled. The full-time student enrollment grew by 37 percent during this period. The 2008 and
2009 freshman fall classes are the highest incoming classes since the consolidation of University of
Detroit and Mercy College of Detroit in 1990 to form the University of Detroit Mercy. In addition, freshman
ACT scores have increased from 20.7 to 23.9 during the past six years and the University is consistently
ranked in the top tier of Midwestern master’s universities by U.S. News & World Report.
Under Stockhausen’s presidency, more than a dozen new academic programs were also established,
including five-year undergraduate/graduate programs in Business Administration, Physician Assistant,
Teacher Education, Engineering and Chemistry. A new Doctor of Nursing Practice was recently approved
to begin May 2010 and a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering is scheduled to begin September 2010.
Stockhausen also created the Office of Mission & Identity and hired a permanent director for the Catholic
Studies Program to further enhance the University’s Catholic identity.
The University received wide-spread acclaim for its hosting of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional Final
in 2008 and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four in 2009. Both events realized NCAA record
attendance.
From 2005 to 2009, the University achieved five straight years of surplus budgets and is on track to
achieve the same result this year. Also during this period, the University experienced strong fund-raising
results, with particular growth in planned gifts. The University has expanded its outreach to alumni
nationally and experienced an increase in donors in 2009.
Stockhausen has also focused on enhancing University facilities for greater student satisfaction.
Significant building renovations and an improved internal campus ring road were completed on the
McNichols Campus. Plus, a new track & field and a new tennis complex were installed to accommodate
three new sports teams: men and women’s lacrosse and men’s tennis. In 2007, the University moved its
School of Dentistry from its former Outer Drive Campus to a larger facility in Corktown in order to expand
student enrollment and increase the scope of dental care to patients.
As an advocate for Detroit, Stockhausen has worked to improve its neighborhoods by serving as chair of
the Board of Directors of University Commons, a northwest Detroit community organization comprised of
neighborhood associations, Livernois Avenue businesses, Marygrove College and UDM. The
organization works to improve the residential and business environment in the area.
Stockhausen also implemented the UDM Employee Homeownership Program to encourage employees
to purchase a home in the neighborhoods surrounding UDM’s three campuses. Through a variety of
clinics and outreach programs, the University provides professional services and assistance to
approximately 12,000 community members annually.
Stockhausen has served as a director on the boards of Detroit Downtown, Detroit Economic Club, Detroit
Economic Growth Corporation and New Detroit. He is also a trustee for Loyola Jesuit High School in
Detroit and a board director for Wheeling Jesuit University and Creighton University.
“I am most grateful for my 10 years here at UDM,” said Stockhausen. “I am proud to say that UDM is a
better and stronger school today than it was 10 years ago, but it will be very hard to leave all the friends I
have made here and all the people who have worked so hard to make UDM an excellent educational
experience for our students. On the other hand, I am eager to accept this new assignment and the
opportunities it brings to make a positive difference for the Jesuits and their apostolic works throughout
the United States.”
Stockhausen holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan; a master’s degree in social
ethics and a Master of Divinity degree from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California; and a
master’s degree in mathematics and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from St. Louis University.
The Board of Trustees of the University of Detroit Mercy is planning a process for the selection of
Stockhausen’s successor.
The University of Detroit Mercy is Michigan’s largest private Catholic University, with more than 100
academic majors and programs. Sponsored by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and the Sisters of
Mercy, the University has campuses located in downtown and northwest Detroit. UDM is one of 28 Jesuit
colleges and universities and the largest of 18 Mercy institutions of higher education in the United States.
For the ninth consecutive year, University of Detroit Mercy is listed in the top tier of Midwestern Master’s
Universities in the 2010 edition of U.S.News and World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges.”

General Counsellors
http://www.sjweb.info/sjweb_new/curiafrgen/curia_gencouns.cfm
When Father General is in Rome, he begins every day meeting his “General Counsellors”.
The election of those counsellors shows an equilibrium between the new elected Superior General and
the General Congregation who has elected him.
Fr. General is the one who appoints (now nine) Regional Assistants, and several other General
Counsellors.
The General Congregation elects four Assistants “ad providentiam”. Their function is to assist the
Superior General on behalf of the whole Society. The assistance called for deals with external matters
“such as clothing, food and any expenditure touching upon the General’s person”, preventing him “from
going beyond measure in labours or excessive severity”, and attending “to his soul in case necessity
might arise”.
Among the General Counsellors there is a Counsellor for formations and Fr. General’s delegate,
responsible for the governance of the international Jesuit houses in Rome.
The two counsellors not residing in Rome are ready to come to Rome whenever Father General wants
their advice on various matters.

Regional Assistants
After his election at the 35th General Congregation (2008) Father General appointed 9 Regional
Assistants from a list, provided by the Congregation.
These “Regional Assistants” help him in the governance of the Society of Jesus and have a responsibility
in a (territorial) Assistancy.
Assistancies
There are nine assistancies:
AFR: Africa
ALM: Southern part of South America
(America Latina Meridionalis)
ALS: Northern part of South America
(America Latina Septentrionalis)
ASM: South Asia (Asia Meridionalis)
ASP: Asia Pacific
ECO: Central and Eastern Europe
(Europa Centralis et Orientalis)
EMR: Southern Europe
(Europa Meridionalis)
EOC: Western Europe
(Europa Occidentalis)
USA: The United States of America
Role of the Regional Assistants
The Regional Assistants help and support Father General in his decision- making. They are responsible
for the oral and written communication with the provinces of their Assistancy).
The entire governance structure of the Society of Jesus is based on a continuous flow of information and
extensive consultations.
Each and every decision is based on the reports received from local Superiors, brother Jesuits, lay
collaborators as well as the provincial’s personal knowledge of every Jesuit and apostolate in his
province.
Decisions to call a man to ordination, to final vows, appointments of Superiors and Directors of
Apostolates all follow this careful decision-making process.

Father General
07 October 2010
http://www.sjweb.info/sjweb_new/news/index.cfm?Tab=2&PubLang=1
Letter to the Provincial of Spain. On September 10 Father General sent in response to the Provincial of
Spain a letter in which he confirms the process of the integration of the 5 Provinces into only one, as it
was stated in the document that was given to him. This document communicates in several chapters the
following issues: the revitalization of the life and the mission of the apostolic body of the Society, the
structures of governance for the period of transition, the structures for the new Province, the Apostolic
Project, etc. Father General approved as concrete decisions:
- That in September 2010 the transition begin the initial phase with the objective to activate the Apostolic
Project, which has been implemented. From now on the various apostolic areas will begin to transfer little
by little to the Provincial of Spain. The first area to be transferred this October will be formation.
- That the new Province will be established in 2016 with the name “Province of Spain”. In it the Provincial
guarantees the unity in governing according to our law. At the same time the localand territorial apostolic
ventures have the aim of harmonizing in union with the particularity of the current Provinces.
Father General underlines the importance of the chapter On revitalizing religious life and the mission of
the apostolic body, as the cornerstone of the building that we want to construct. Only thus we can
continue with hope on this journey already begun, to analyze peacefully the difficulties that present
themselves, to pay attention to the various sensibilities and to the contributions that arise from Jesuits
and their collaborators in order to better in its entirety and in its essential elements the course that has
been already delineated, but that is susceptible to redoing so that is helped everyone to achieve the
apostolic goal that is proposed. Finally, Father Adolfo Nicolás invites all to continue in the good practice of
giving opportune information and asking the participation of fellow Jesuits and of communities, as also of
our respective collaborators, so that no one feels extraneous to the future that is for all and in which all
are involved in the response that encourages them to go beyond the particularities and increase the union
of hearts and minds.
From the Curia
- Commission for Practica Quaedam. Practica Quaedam is the manual of instructions on the way to
handle the correspondence with Father General. The last edition was in 1997. In conformity with what the
last General Congregation indicated in number 15 in the Decree on Governance, some months ago the
Secretary of the Society asked the Provincials and their Socii to send suggestions in order to update the
manual. Father General has constituted an international working group in order to carry out this task.
After e-mail exchanges, the commission gathers in Rome from October 11th to the 16th in order to
prepare the final edition of this document. The plan is that the new manual will be ready in the first
months of next year. This is one of the three commissions to implement some juridical aspects of the
General Congregation. A report was given, in this Bulletin (cf. no. 16, of September 6, 2010), about the
commission that worked on the structure of the provinces. When the commission meets in order to
examine the “Formula of the General Congregation” we will give account about it.
- From 22 until 29 September, JRS International organized its Fifth Service Orientation Course for new
staff in the organization. On the first day of the course, veteran staff from around the world helped the
participants understand the refugee context, both in global terms and by looking at particular situations in
Haiti, South Africa and Sri Lanka. On successive days, the course examined the mission, vision and
values of JRS and how it relates to the work of the Society of Jesus at large. New staff were also briefed
on human resource issues, such as team work, conflict, stress, and were introduced to the work of the
communications, advocacy and programs departments in the International Office.
Appointments
Father General has appointed:
- Fr. Colin Tan Chin Hock, of the Malaysia-Singapore Region, new Superior of the same Region. Father
Colin Tan, at present Master of Novices, vocation promoter and treasurer of the Malaysia-Singapore
Region, was born in 1960, joined the Society of Jesus in 1988 and was ordained a priest in 1999.
- Fr. Joseph Pham Thanh Liem new Provincial of the Vietnam Province. P. Joseph was born in 1952,
joined the Society of Jesus in 1972, and was ordained a priest in 1995. He has been Socius to the
Provincial beside holding other Province responsibilities.
- Fr. Bogdan Lesniak, of the Province of Upper Poland, is from September 23 the new secretary for the
Assistancy of Central-East Europe, east section. He substitutes Fr. Alexander Puss. Fr. Bogdan was born
in 1973, he joined the Society of Jesus in 1993 and was ordained a priest in 2005.
From the Provinces
AMERICAS: The birth of “Magis Americas”
On September 23 in Rome, the President of the Conference of Latin American Provincials and the
President of the USA Jesuit Conference, at the presence of Father General, signed the birth of Magis
Americas which seek to increase and deepen collaboration on behalf of the mission of the Society of
Jesus in the Americas, particularly through work on behalf of the Jesuit-sponsored ministries in Latin
America. Magis Americas is a non-profit organization which engages in the following activities in the
United States: raises funds for civil society projects sponsored by the Society of Jesus in Latin America
(for example Fe y Alegria), and other apostolic activities that may be promoted with the support of both
Conferences; facilitates contacts and mutual beneficial interaction between social agents from North and
South and supports, through fundraising, possible joint projects approved by relevant authorities of both
Conferences; promotes participation in public policy debates and forums in the United States on
educational and social development in Latin America; develops contacts between individuals and
institutions sponsored by the Society of Jesus in Latin America. Magis Americas operates on these
criteria to guide the provision of such services according to its organizational capacity, subject to its
Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws, consistent with the legal requirements of the State of Delaware
and the United States.
AUSTRALIA: Adapting the Spiritual Exercises across Asia
In view of increasing collaboration across the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), some 23
participants among Jesuits and lay people working in Ignatian Spirituality ministries gathered at the end of
August at Canisius Centre of Ignatian Spirituality in Sydney, with Father General’s Secretary for the
Ministry of the Spiritual Exercises, Fr. Eddie Mercieca, as a special guest speaker, along with JCAP
(Jesuit Conference of Asia-Pacific) President Fr. Mark Raper and Australian Provincial Fr. Steve Curtin.
Both Fr. Mercieca and Fr. Raper made presentations at the conference exploring the need for greater
formation and training for people in the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises, which should be a key element
in the direction and style of all Society’s ministries. “I would add that it is imperative that each Province
has two or three of its best men trained seriously in spiritual studies with special reference and research
in Ignatian Spirituality,” said Fr. Mercieca, who in his last talk on the final day of the meeting, addressed
the need for broader collaboration across the Asia-Pacific Assistancy. He outlined three themes for the
collaboration between the various Provinces: Common apostolic discernment; Ignatian leadership
formation; and the insertion of the Spiritual Exercises in local cultures and traditions. With Asia being such
a vastly diverse region of cultures and communities, Fr. Mercieca said one of the biggest challenges
facing the Society would be adapting the Exercises to local contexts.
BOLIVIA: Film on Luis Espinal
With the desire of inspiring reflection on the inheritance left by Luis Espinal on the thinking of Bolivian
society, in the next days the film Lucho San Pueblo, by Fr. Eduardo Pérez, S.J. will be broadcasted all
over Bolivia. The film tells the story of the Jesuit martyr Luis Espinal, victim in 1980 of the Bolivian military
dictatorship. It shows the happenings of the night in which he was kidnapped and tortured , based on
documents and historical sources, among which the audio of his voice when, in his capacity as director of
a radio station connected with Radio Fides, he broadcasted the news about the military coup d’état by the
then colonel Hugo Banzer Suárez. Fr. Espinal intervened defending politicians and labour organizers
persecuted and imprisoned during the 1971 military coup d’état. In March 1980 he was kidnapped, put
into a jeep and brought to a slaughterhouse where he was tortured for four hours and finally killed with 14
gunshots, after having engraved a cross on his chest.
BURKINA FASO: A challenge to the desert
The name of the project is “A challenge to the desert”, and is sponsored by Magis (Mouvement and
Action of Italian Jesuits for Development). It is a big project of human, cultural, health, socio-economic
and even athletic development and its goal is to launch growth and autonomy for an entire province
around Kaya, in Burkina Faso, Subsaharian Africa, between desert and savana, with the participation of
the local population. The challenges are water, agricultural high school, working cooperative, learning,
health, solar kitchens. And even the building of a recreational and sporting center. Taking up the tradition
of 500 years of experience, from St. Francis to Father Arrupe, Magis is a work of Italian Jesuits working
for missions all over the world. It is recognized as a NGO (non governmental organization) by the Minister
of Foreign Affairs), as a ONLUS (not for profit organization) and as a charitable entity. To learn more:
COLOMBIA: Meeting of Ignatian Spirituality’s Reviews
The CIRE (Ignatian Center for Reflection and Exercises) of Bogota, Colombia, hosted, October 4-6, the
third international encounter of Ignatian spirituality reviews. Participants came from France, Canada, Italy,
Spain, England, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina. The meeting was organized by Fr.
Edward Mercieca, of the Secretariat for Ignatian Spirituality of the Society of Jesus at the General Curia in
Rome. Apart from sharing of challenges, today’s orientation and problems the reviews have to face in
their countries, the themes on the agenda were: how to profit by proper resources, how to increase the
opportunity of exchange of articles and how to realize a common project for the years to come. Father
General, in his message of congratulations for the encounter and the work done by spirituality reviews,
pointed out three fields or areas of our life and our way of proceeding that could be deepened in the
studies of ignatian spirituality: early, specialized and ongoing formation; ignatian spirituality there and put
into practice in every apostolate of the Society, dialogue between faith and culture according to the
custom of every country and region.
ROME: Celebration of the first approbation of the Society
On the evening of September 27th a solemn liturgical celebration to commemorate the 470th anniversary
of the first approbation of the Society of Jesus, took place in the Church of the Gesù, Rome, with
numerous Jesuits, friends, and people committed to Jesuit spirituality. Father Federico Lombardi, in
absence of Father General, who was in Belgium, presided at the liturgy. In his homily Fr. Lombardi
recalled the approval of the Society by Pope Paul III, on September 27, 1540 and said that “this date is a
watershed. It marks the passage from the spiritual and apostolic involvement of a group of friends in the
Lord to the birth of a new religious Order recognized by the Church, with all the consequences that this
involves. Also Ignatius will no longer be the spiritual head of a group of itinerant apostles, but he will be
soon a religious Superior” engaged in the tasks of governance and the drawing up of the Constitutions of
the new Order, of which he will become the true Founder. Later he added: “In 470 years the Society of
Jesus has accomplished extraordinary apostolic enterprises, but also it has had its weaknesses and been
subject to some very hard tests and humiliations. It was suppressed by a Pope, and approximately 200
years ago it was restored to life by another Pope and began again its way with practically nothing. It has
been expelled many times from many different countries (…). The tests to which in these times the
Society must deal which concerns the credibility of the Church – radical tests of faith in a secularized
world, tests of coherence and credibility in witness and holiness of life – are tests of life or death, that the
Society lives internally, within its very body.”
USA: At work on the Border
The work of the Kino Border Initiative continues on U.S.-Mexico border. It is a a collaborative effort of the
Jesuit provinces of California and Mexico, the Diocese of Tucson, the Archdiocese of Hermosillo
(Mexico), Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Missionary Sisters of the Eucharist. The kitchen of the dining
room ministering to deportees on the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Mexico, with the help of some Jesuit
students and other members and volunteers, served as many as 250 meals a day in winter. The average
this summer has been about 150 meals per day, a reduction accounted for in part by the summer heat
cutting down on cross-border traffic and partly by the Border Patrol flights that return people to their home
states. Apart from some beds and other services for women and children, the services at the Kino Border
Initiatives’s offices in Nogales includes public education about the border in light of Catholic social
teaching, with workshops offered in parishes on both sides of the border and research and advocacy on
behalf of fundamental human rights and comprehensive immigration reform. Talking about his experience
Ricardo Avila, a young Jesuit in formation who spent five weeks with the Kino Border Initiative this
summer said: “I’ve gotten an understanding of the migrant experience, of how genuinely dangerous the
immigrant experience is.”
Jesuitica
Paraguay, the Guaraní played soccer. The Paraguayan team was vs. Italy at the first football match of the
world champions league in South Africa and played very well brushing the semifinal, beaten by Spain
which was the world winner. In those days Gianpaolo Romanato wrote in the Osservatore Romano that
soccer in Paraguay is very old. Here is a testimony: “During feast days, after evening mass, men organize
a fictitious struggle in the square, throwing arrows towards a target (…). They also used to play soccer,
and, even if of full rubber, the ball was light and quick and once received the stroke, bounced back many
times without stopping, pushed by its own weigh. They do not push the ball with their hands, as we do,
but with the upper part of the naked feet, passing it over and receiving it with great ability and precision.”
This is what wrote Spanish Father José Manuel Peramás. Born in 1732 he worked for some years among
the Guaraní of the Paraguayan Reducciones, until the decree of expulsion forced him and his brethren to
leave the Spanish colonies in America. He died in Faenza, Italy, in 1793. But this is not the only
testimony. Another missionary of the Reducciones, Fr. José Cardiel, who died in exile in Faenza in 1781,
speaks about the same topic. Another jesuit historian of the Reducciones, peruvian creolo Father Antonio
Ruiz de Montoya, wrote around 1639-1640 that soccer was practiced by guaraní even before the arrival
of the Spanish missionaries.

Cardinal gives thanks for ‘unique’ Jesuits
4 December 2003
http://www.jesuit.org.uk/latest/031204.htm
Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor has praised the ‘unique’ role played by the British Jesuits since the
days of the Counter Reformation.
He was speaking at the end of a Mass held at Farm Street Church, London, to celebrate the 200th
anniversary of the Restoration of the British Province of the Society of Jesus. The congregation of over
800, made up of around 50 Jesuits, with their supporters, friends and co-workers, also heard the British
Provincial encourage the members of the Province in the vital work of evangelisation.
The Cardinal told the congregation that the Jesuits had been part of the history of this country ‘in quite a
unique way’. He continued: ‘The whole Catholic community of England and Wales, our bishops, priests
and people, are grateful for the particular contribution the Jesuit community has made to evangelisation in
our countries. ‘These are difficult times and the Church has to be innovative and brave and confident
when it looks to the future in spite of all the challenges it faces. Together we must evangelise our
country.’
‘The contribution that the Catholic Church makes to our country, to this nation, is crucial,’ Cardinal
Cormac continued. ‘Within the Church, the particular charism of the Society of Jesus is valued. For that I
give thanks today.’
In his homily, the British Provincial, Fr David Smolira SJ, looked back over the past 200 years since Pope
Pius VII had restored the Society of Jesus in this country. He reflected on the work done ‘in the service of
the Church in Britain’, in schools, colleges, parishes, in spiritual guidance and among the poor – ‘work
which, I am delighted to say, continues with vigour today!’
Fr Smolira concluded by quoting from Pope John Paul’s 1995 address to the Jesuits, and reminded his
fellow Jesuits of the Holy Father’s mandate ‘to engage in the task of evangelisation with a ‘missionary
outreach and the promotion of a dynamic communion that extends into ecumenism, directs inter-religious
dialogue, and inspires the service of human rights and peace as foundations of a civilisation of love’.’

Okay. Doing some digging around on this site, I came up with some interesting info that had me reaching
for Craig’s email from last night, which said:
“I’ve noticed that its so hard to get any information on Michael Holman.
The British site is very weak. He used to be based at Stonyhurst but I
notice theres a Provincial Office at 114 Mount Street London W1K 3AH.”
Well what have we here then:
http://www.jesuit.org.uk/latest/080630.htm
Farm Street Church in Mayfair, London W1K 3AH.
http://www.farmstreet.org.uk/contact.htm
The Church Of The Immaculate Conception
Farm Street
Parish Priest
Father William Pearsall SJ
114 Mount Street London W1K 3AH
Tel. 020 7493 7811 Fax: 020 7495 6685
Assistant Priest
Father Anthony Meredith SJ
114 Mount Street London W1K 3AH
Tel. 020 7493 7811 Fax: 020 7495 6685
So this Farm Street Church’s full name is “The Church Of The Immaculate Conception
Farm Street” & is located at 114 Mount Street London W1K 3AH, right where Craig says: “I
notice theres a Provincial Office”. Interesting. So this seems to be the UKHQ of the British Jesuits.
Hmm… I really need to get a digital camera.

I wonder if David Ciancimino, S.J this Jesuit is related to Vito Ciancimino??
-T
This is highly likely and you’ll note that Sicily is the headquarters for the Heroin trade in the West
and its all controlled by the Sicilian Mafiosi commanded by the Holy Roman Emperor, King Juan
Carlos who controls Sicily through his House of Bourbon and Farnese bloodline power all for the
Superior General at the Curia Generalizia which the Emperor protects with his Centro Nacional de
Inteligencia. Remember the importance of the heroin trade to the power, control and system of the
Knights of Malta through their commanding proxy of New Jerusalem based in the City of London
covertly controlled from St John’s Wood, England by the Grand Priory of England headed
currently by Grand Prior, Frederik Crichton-Stuart. The heroin trade was started by The
Worshipful Company of Apothecaries who bought about the best quality poppies for the job at
Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London which is now under UNESCO. These poppies were then
shipped out to India then transported out to attack China and no different to whats happening in
the Western World today as we enter the Post Industrial Zero Growth Society. Make note of one of
the old medics that worked for the British East India Company and his name was Jardine
Matheson. Now note who controls Jardine Matheson Holdings and you’ll see its the powerful
Scottish family called the House of Keswick. Now anyone who’s done any study on the drug trade
by the Crown Maltese will know the power of the Hong Kong region dealing with the Heroin
coming out of the Golden Crescent which the Central Intelligence Agency took control over during
the front Vietnamese war. Hong Kong is critial to the drug trade and one of the most powerful
banks in the World connected to it all and riddled with drug currency cleaning is of course
HongKong Shanghai Banking Corporation which is controlled by the House of Keswick.
