Co-sponsored by Loyola's Office of Mission and Identity and the Alumni Association, this year's Lenten presentation "The Power of Forgiveness" will be given by Sr. Helen Prejean, C.S.J., a well-known advocate against the death penalty. The lecture will be available online via Zoom (registration required) and in person in Ignatius Chapel (registration not required). For those who attend in person, refreshments will be served afterward in Loyola's Ignatius Chapel.

You are invited to a workshop informed by Ignatian spirituality on Spiritual Companionship, which is a form of spiritual accompaniment that supports others in exploring a deeper experience of God and finding deeper meaning in their lives and relationships. It is open to anyone interested in growing spiritually, enhancing listening skills, and learning about faith sharing and accompaniment.

There is no charge, and lunch will be provided, but you must register by November 6.

While recognizing that terms like "Hispanic" and "Latinx" denote many heterogeneous cultures, it is important to underscore the successes, challenges, and diversity of Latinx experiences in the context of culture, diplomacy, and law in New Orleans. The speakers in this series will discuss intellectually-riveting topics, such as the history of the New Orleans Mexican Consulate, the politics promoting immigration, journeys in academia, and other pressing issues, all within the Loyola and New Orleans communities. Join us!

The panel includes:

To honor the worldwide Ignatian Year, the Jesuits of New Orleans, along with our five apostolic works, partners, friends, students and alumni in and around the city will celebrate our founder St. Ignatius of Loyola with a special liturgy on his feast day, July 31, at 12 noon, in Holy Name of Jesus Church. If you are in town that Saturday and able, I hope that you will join us. If you're otherwise engaged, please keep the Ignatian Year, Loyola University New Orleans, and the Jesuit mission in which we all share in your prayers.

The Jesuits of New Orleans invite you to the online global launch of an international IGNATIAN YEAR commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the 400th Anniversary of his canonization
