Victor Cancino, SJ, studied at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. He lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana where serves as pastor to the local communities. He first met the Jesuits at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. The rest is history. It was at LMU where he fell in love with scripture and Ignatian Spirituality fostered by the many Jesuits who dedicated their life to study, scholarship, and to an ever-expansive vision of God. His favorite communities he has lived in since entering the Society include, San Salvador, North St. Louis, Brighton, Massachusetts, Xiamen, China, Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, Rome, Italy, and Hollywood. Of course, his most favorite place is where he lives now in St. Ignatius, MT, on the Rez among the Salish, Kootenai, and non-native Montanans. If you visit him, please bring as your peace offering a vinyl of your choice to add to his ever-expansive record collection.
