Just Released: The new companion to the widely-used Volume I, first published in 1991
Dictionary of Jesuit Biography,
Volume II
The Jesuits of English Canada are unique in the worldwide Jesuit Order in that they publish a comprehensive set of biographies telling the life stories of each Jesuit. Volume I of the Biographies, published in 1991, covered the lives of Jesuits who worked between 1842 and 1987.
This new volume covers the 128 Jesuits whose personal stories ended between 1988 and 2006.
You’ll read compelling and gripping biographies of Jesuits who made a remarkable difference:
- Be with the Jesuit archaelogist who uncovered the tomb of St Jean de Brébeuf in 1954 among the ruins of a church in Midland, Ontario.
- Meet the Jesuit who became a hero in Bhutan for establishing the country’s school system — and was made a “Beloved Son of Bhutan”.
- Reconnect with dozens of teachers and professors from high schools and universities across Canada, plus chaplains and counsellors in parishes, convents, hospitals and social services.
- Watch Jesuit pastors who lived among the native people on Georgian Bay and Lake Superior.
- Travel with Jesuits who served as missionaries in remote areas of India, Africa and Jamaica.
- Read first-hand the story of the young Jesuit murdered in 2001 in a manner many have interpreted to be a martyr’s death.
Includes a detailed chronology of significant Jesuit events in Canada for easy reference. Written from original sources, including many unpublished primary materials.
