The 2021 meeting of JUPC Network (Jesuit University Pastoral Care) took place Tuesday 9th of February. For the first time in its already relatively long history, the event was 100% online. The meeting took one day with a morning and afternoon session. More than 30 people participated in the meeting which main topic was the Discerning the Future of JUPC. This meeting was a great opportunity to see familiar faces, to revisit to history of JUPC and reflect on the future of this network.

The morning session consisted of a prayer, a presentation of the history and evolution of the network. The morning finished with participants split into groups. They used the time to reflect about what fruits JUPC brings to its participants and how far the network is still up to date. The general framework of the network was also discussed.

In the afternoon, there was a wrap-up of the main ideas coming from the group discussions. It was clear that networking is very important to the participants and the meetings always inspire them in the pastoral activities. It was concluded as well that the chaplaincy is a very specific work group within the youth pastoral and the network would be more effective if it was loyal to its university roots.

The European Jesuit University Pastoral Care is more alive than ever despite the troubled times and everyone is looking forward to hopefully meet in person in 2022.
