On : 2022-09-20

Members of Province Higher Education Commission (PCHE) met for a day-long deliberation on September 19. Provincial Fr Dionysius Vaz SJ addressed them in the morning.

In his address, Fr Vaz called upon the Jesuits involved in higher education to make higher education to be a ‘social force’. “The core values that need to be interwoven in all your activities are collaboration, depth and discernment. Besides this, the priority issues that are expected to be dealt with are: bringing higher education to the marginalized and disadvantaged; promotion of programmes for the formation of civic and political leaders; promote awareness for ecological and environmental justice; formation for lay and Jesuit leadership; inter-faith dialogue; and peace and reconciliation,” he said.
