The British Jesuits have launched a  series of  Vocations videos, which will feature across social media channels. The videos look at a day in the life of several members of the Province, including both priests and Novices. The series of fascinating videos are accompanied by personal blogs, with signposting for viewers to find out more information. They are part of the Jesuits’ outreach to both men who may be considering exploring a vocation, and those who are more generally interested in the work of the Order.

During the month of February these videos have appeared:

The Servant

Dermot Preston is a Jesuit priest serving the parish and the poor in Newcastle. He says of the experience: "Britain has become a yet-more fragmented place with strikes and industrial action, but the poor cannot strike or withdraw their labour to make their absence felt – they cling on, watching somewhat helplessly, as the powers of this world push them about like corks in a fast-flowing river."

The Adventurer

Fr Michael Barrow SJ was 91 years old when we filmed this interview, and had been a Jesuit for over 70 years. Like all Jesuits, his career has been incredibly varied, including stints as a teacher in the UK and as a parish priest in Barbados. Here he reflects on his life and his vocation.
