Men and Women for Others

The Jesuits of Michigan and Ohio are committed to education, especially to the children of the inner city. At Jesuit High Schools across Michigan and Ohio, and around the world, the Holy Spirit guides students, faculty and staff helping them become "men and women for others."  Please keep them in your prayers.

Loyola Secondary School, Wau, Sudan

Andrew Ormondi, S.J., in front of the students, teaches at Loyola Secondary School in Wau, Sudan.  He writes, "Wau is a town that has been affected by the war that took place over 20 years or more."  The Jesuits started a small school in 1983, but because of the war they could no longer stay.  But they are now back, not only to teach, but to help many with literacy problems and understanding of the deadly reality - HIV/AIDS - that terrorizes many in the area.
