Internationality is the future of the US Province
“Our Future: Together in Community and Ministry” was the theme of the January 30 – February 1, 2018, US Provincial Conference. Although a variety of issues were discussed, one of the most significant themes was “internationality.” As one SCJ said: “It’s not just that we want to welcome SCJs from other entities; we want to be intercultural, allowing ourselves to changed and enhanced by SCJs from around the world.”
