As part of our ongoing celebration of the half-century anniversary of the Secretariat for Social Justice and Ecology at the Curia of the Society of Jesus in Rome, we have invited the former secretaries to record their thoughts on being part of 50 years of services by SJES. Each secretary shares the unique challenges that SJES faced under his leadership, and his thoughts on the apostolic needs for the social and ecological apostolate today.

Watch the testimony of Fr. Fernando Franco. From Gujarat Province in India, Fr. Franco is currently a Research Coordinator at St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad, and Coordinator of his Province’s Development Office.
