Ignatian Volunteer Corps Participates in Colloquium
Ten people involved in IVC participated in a day-long Colloquium: “Sent to the Frontiers: Jesuits, Alumni/ae, and the Work of the Church,” sponsored by The Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture at Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA.
IVC representatives were many:
- New England Ignatian Volunteers (Margaret Murphy, Bill Waters)
- IVC’s founder (Jim Conroy, SJ)
- IVC’s Executive Director (Suzanne Geaney)
- New England IVC Regional Director (Br. Steve Jubin)
- Spiritual Reflector (Si Smith, SJ),
- IVC Supporters (John Mullman, the Provincial of the New England Society of Jesus)
- New England IVC Regional Council members (Dave Hinchen, Bob Cunningham).
The Colloquium focused on the Society of Jesus’ commitment to collaboration and partnership with lay people. The program offered Holy Cross alumni/ae concrete alternatives for participating in some “frontier” service and spirituality works of the Jesuits and the Church.
