The Society of Jesus in Europe welcomes the appointment of two new members, both current provincials in their local provinces, to the Consult of the Jesuit Conference of European Provincials (JCEP). The Consult of the JCEP is a consultative body that helps the President of the JCEP in his decision making, in this sense it is similar in its functions to the consult of any local Provincial. In a letter dated 17 December, Fr Arturo Sosa SJ, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, appointed Fr Attila András SJ (HUN) and Fr Ronny Alessio SJ (EUM) as new JCEP Consultors. In both cases, both Attila and Ronny are moderators – facilitators – in their Assistancies (group of Provinces that are served by the same counselor to Fr. General)

Fr Attila András, elected Moderator of the Central and Eastern Europe Assistancy (better known by the Latin acronym ECO) in October, will begin his mandate as JCEP Consultor on 1 February 2026. He is expected to take part in the next JCEP Consult meeting, scheduled for 18–19 February 2026.

Fr Ronny Alessio, elected Moderator of the Southern Europe Assistancy (better known by the Latin Acronym EMR) in October, will begin his mandate on 1 July 2026. His first participation in a JCEP Consult meeting is planned for September 2026.
