Introducing Jesuits West’s 2021 Ordinands

In June 2021, five members of the Jesuits West Province will be ordained to the priesthood. These five Jesuits—Xavier Benavides, John Guyol, Jack Krouse, Brad Mills and Martin Ngo—have been in Jesuit Formation for between 10-12 years in preparation for their ordination. We invite you to get to know them.

With Hands Tied

There’s an adage among Jesuits being formed for priesthood that says, “Doing ministry prior to ordination is like doing ministry with your hands tied behind your back.”
