Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. John W. O’Malley, SJ, who died on September 11, 2022, at the St. Claude de la Colombière Jesuit community in Baltimore. He was 95 years old. May he rest in peace.

Nearly 500 years after the founding of the Society of Jesus, St. Ignatius Loyola and St. Francis Xavier are widely revered and respected. It wasn’t always so.

On March 12, 2022, a Solemn Mass at the Church of the Gesù in Rome will commemorate the 400th anniversary of the canonization of Sts. Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Ávila, Isidore the Farmer, and Philip Neri.
