From the Directors

Dear Friends,
Finally we are settled into our new offices at 43 Queen’s Park Crescent East, situated between St. Joseph St. and Wellesley St.We hope that they are more convenient for everybody, especially those who drop in to obtain perpetual cards and Mass cards. The Jesuit Development Office is on the first floor of the building which should make it easier for all involved.
Beside the new offices, we also have a new Provincial Superior for the Jesuits in English Canada, Fr. Jim Webb, S.J. Last year in the Bulletin 2008, we introduced Fr.Webb and our new Superior General in Rome, Fr. Adolphe Nicolás, S.J. Both have been hard at work in their new positions as both jobs have a very steep learning curve involved with them. Please keep them both in your prayers.
Last September, we sent out a small prayer card with the Prayer for Generosity and The Examen of Consciousness, which was designed to fit into either a purse or a wallet.We had many complimentary responses from people—saying what a wonderful idea and saying thank you for the opportunity “to stop in my busy schedule and spend a few moments seeing where I have encountered Christ Jesus.”We were very pleased to hear from so many people that they were obtaining graces from the Lord with this small gift. We even had requests for extra copies.
This particular Jesuit Bulletin will be the last one produced by the Jesuit Development Office. From now on, the Bulletin will be coordinated by our Communication Officer, Erica Zlomislic.We have spoken to her and there will be a section added for the Jesuit Development Office to keep you up to date on what we are doing. Barbara and I thank you very much for your support of the Jesuit Bulletin over the years and we look forward to seeing a new format for it. God bless you and be with you in all that you do.
Sincerely in Christ Jesus,
Fr. J.Winston Rye, S.J.
Director
Gratefully,
