Nativity in the Northwoods
The mission of Nativity Jesuit Middle School is to educate Latino youth for Christian leadership and service. As an integral component of the school, the mission of Camp Thunderhead is to advance the students toward the objective of the school. The camp strives for academic and moral growth and the promotion of school unity.

Two Faces of Immigration
Manuel is a great kid. Or at least he seems to be, as far as you can draw an opinion on a student at that age where anything is possible and idealism runs rampant.

Liturgical Music: Spanning the Test of Time
Music, like memories, can bridge the span of time. It can mean one thing when it is first heard and something different when it is recalled later in life. The music of the St. Louis Jesuits follows this pattern. Both listeners, and the artists themselves, have experienced this transition.

Jesuit Scholastics Share Insights on Prayer
As they moved from novices to scholastics in the Society of Jesus after taking First Vows, these men shared tips and thoughts on prayer from their young lives. They reflected on classic tools available to all religious traditions - rhythm, time, space and silence - as well as traditional Jesuit tools like the Examen and Ignatian Contemplation. They also re-envisioned the more abstract - art, music, poetry, lyrics, journaling, friendships, relationships, and even chaos - as prayer.
The Wind, The River, and the Society
Riverton looks a lot like any other small town in America. The Walgreens on Main Street has T-shirts for sale supporting the local team. (At around $6, a Riverton Wolverine’s T is a deal too good to pass on.) There’s a Holiday Inn and a Comfort Suites practically yelling out about the growth in this Wyoming city of about 10,000. There’s also The Trailhead Family Restaurant which boasts "Homestyle Cookin’ and Friendly Folks, Open at 5 a.m."

The Meaning of My Ministry
When I joined the Jesuits I expected to become a teacher in one of our college prep schools. That held through the years of seminary and on through some very enjoyable and satisfying years of priesthood, at Marquette High and then Campion High.

Jesuits, Cameras and a Life Turned Around
My first introduction to the Society of Jesus was when I saw a Jesuit going up and down a pair of vertical bars in the school yard in his cassock. This was in 1961 and I was beginning my freshman year at St. Stephen’s Indian Mission School.

Living the Pascal Mystery through the Martyrs of El Salvador
Throughout the day, hundreds of people passed through this garden, reliving the events of Nov. 16, 1989. They walk through the museum that reverences the personal belongings of the Martyrs, their bloodied pajamas and slippers, their bullet-ridden Bibles, even the dirt on which their bodies fell. They were so normal, so much like each of us, with favorite football teams, bad habits, charming and challenging personalities, short-sleeved polo shirts and handwritten calendars.

Recipe for Building a Fire
Simple formulas can build great things. Fr. Cedric Prakash, SJ, the recent Wade Scholar at Marquette University offers seasoned guidance for a sustained commitment to the Jesuit mission to serve faith and promote justice. Simply stated, it is the 5A’s for faith-justice and he adds two more A ingredients for Jesuits. These A’s, inter-related and in equal parts, nurture the Ignatian call to be a fire which kindles other fire.

The Looms of Our Lives
It was a jolt in a jeep on a mountainside in Northeast India that jarred me out of complacency. This was two years ago during an Ignatian immersion experience and my challenge now is to take the threads of this experience and a trip in 2009 and to weave them together. In the midst of our bristling winter weather and with thoughts of Lenten preparations, I am reminded to stretch the fabric of my life and weave it in with the lives I found on the other side of the world.
