Martin Maier SJ, Secretary for European Affairs at the Jesuit European Social Centre (JESC) since 2014, has been elected as new director of Adveniat by the German Catholic Bishop Conference.

Adveniat is the German episcopal charity-organisation for Latin America and the Caribbean. Since 1961, Adveniat supports projects of the Catholic Church in the entire continent. Adveniat's financial support for charity projects each year provides help where it is needed most and where it has the greatest impact: at base level, as direct aid for the people, in particular for the poor. Last year 1900 projects received over 36 million euro support.

Martin will finish working at JESC on 31 March and assume his new responsibility at Adveniat in the city of Essen after a time of transition and preparation on 1 September 2021. As he declared, it is not easy for him to leave Brussels, where he felt fulfilment and joy in his mission to foster vision and values for Europe.

 Martin will be dearly missed by the JESC team, his Jesuit companions and many groups and friends he accompanied. We were fortunate and privileged to be able to witness and work with Martin over the last seven year and we wish him all the best in his new role as General Manager Director of Adveniat.
