The Institute at the Conference of Province Advancement and Communications Directors

From 30 April to 2 May, the Directors of Advancement and Communications of the ten U.S. Jesuit Provinces and the Province of English Canada met at the Hampton Inn Suites, Inner Harbor Baltimore. Bill Rickle had the opportunity to make a 15 minute presentation on the origins, present activities and hopes for the Institute.

Response was enthusiastically positive and encouraging. Several participants urged that the Institute be called the Jesuit Institute on Migration, Culture and Ministry, and that it go national as soon as possible.
