On July 31, the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Fr. Sean Carroll, SJ, will be installed as the new provincial of Jesuits West during a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Ignatius Church in Portland, Oregon.
Cinco de Mayo, May 5, was an exceptionally beautiful day at the Jesuit West Province’s retirement/health care center in Los Gatos, California. The Jesuits there were in a festive mood. Covid-19 had robbed these men of eight of their brother Jesuits, and after months of mourning, isolating and social distancing, it felt good to sit in the sunshine to celebrate something.
Fr. General Arturo Sosa, SJ, leader of the Society of Jesus, has named Fr. Sean Carroll, SJ, to serve as the next provincial of the Jesuits West Province.
