Fathers Don Highberger and Jim Knapp were just 18 years old when they entered the Society of Jesus in August 1969. Today, the two friends reside once again in the same community and enjoy reliving their shared life as Jesuits.
On behalf of the USA Midwest Province, I would like to thank and congratulate the Jubilarians of 2018, especially our Golden Jubilarians. Their generous and faith-filled lives of service have been sources of inspiration for their fellow Jesuits and to the Church.
The USA Midwest Province is embarking on a new project called Seminars in Ignatian Formation. We are blessed with a strong Ignatian charism alive in our works already. SIF will build upon that energy and prepare the next generation of spiritual leaders.
It is with great joy and gratitude that Jesuits West welcomed three novices who entered the USA West Province on August 18.
